I think you need to be within x miles of the exchange - the Computing forum might be able to quantify this.

Although I don't live in Duxford I do know that there is a bit of a general problem with bb coverage in South Cambs generally. NTL have covered a lot of villages and BT are in the process of applying for more transmitters.

I've just checked with some colleagues and they don't recall any applications for BB masts in Duxford but there is a known coverage shortfall in other villages in that area apparently.

Apologies, I've re-read my first post and it's not entirely clear. BB transmitters are needed by BT, not NTL, whose coverage is provided below ground level. It may well be that NTL cover Duxford and BT don't.
