Order Date - around about 20th
New Connection or Migration - Long story see bottom
Router Arrived - See bottom
Connection Due - See bottom
Actually Connected - 30th April
Up sync speed - 15323 kbps
Down sync speed - 764 kbps
Distance from the exchange - 50FT or 367 meters of actual cable run.

Note:

I was originally supposed to be connected on the 22nd of March but between the order date and connection date BT changed my number which caused me loads of problems.

Sky stated that I had to cease and reorder on my new number which I did hence my new connection date of the 30th of April.

My original order was a migration but the new order was a fresh order but so far its working fine. I'm using the 2nd router they sent me, why they sent me 2 I dont know but I now have 2 which I intend to flash the 1st one and keep it as a spare.

Regards.

Ordered :15/05/07
Migration from UKFSN
Router arrived : 21/05/07
Connection date : 24/05/07
Actual connection : 24/05/07
DownStream Connection Speed :5440 kbps ( Roughly 1 MEG up from previous BT line ISP).
UpStream Connection Speed : 416 kbps
Line Attenuation 56.0 db 31.5 db
Noise Margin 6.5 db 14.0 db
Distance from Exchange :1.08 Km as crow flies but unfortunately the line wasn't laid by crows , actual line is probably around 3 - 4km.

Overall I'm well impressed by the service and happy I took the plunge , I've been holding back migrating in for a while as I've read so many horror stories but so far so good for me.
