You will do a lot better by doing the check on the phone number rather 
than on the postcode.


The checker on http://www.zenadsl.com/  gives you the exchange name if 
you put in a phone number.

If there is a better checker somewhere (more info), then please let me know.

BTW, what is everybodies favourite ADSL router?  At the moment I think 
the Draytek 2600 is the best.  The throughput seems better than the 
alcatel 510 which everybody seems to ship, and it has a decent firewall 
built in and uPNP support, and can work in NAT mode and routed mode 
simultaneously.  I haven't done proper throughput tests yet though.

I also have an IX66 (contains lots of SIP stuff, and a smart card 
reader) and the latest Allied Telesyn offering to try out.

If anybody is looking for a router and would like to buy one cheap in 
exchange for some feedback, let me know.
