Sadly 'tis true! You cannot have broadband unless BT has made ADSL available at your particular exchange. It is also true that BT are seriously aware that this shortcoming within their house causes much ado.
They have, therefore, in a lot of areas, made it known that if 400-450 people register their specific interest in broadband they will make it available. You will need to enquire at your exchange to find out the answer to that one.
By logging on to a broadband ISP you can do a quick check to see if your exchange has it already.
For me! I get connected on Wednesday. Sorry, I am not gloating - just pleased
