It is a white label service from BT Wholesale. I'm not sure that answers your question but in essence it's much the same as any other non
LLU exchange broadband service.

I am currently using a service provided by BT Wholesale, ADSL Max. BT claim I should get 5.4Meg (I'm rural). Last two days has been 480K (yes I
know that's slower than dial-up). Best ever connection speed;3.8Meg.  Now getting !
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

You must have had fast dialup... I am not in a rural area, but I get 1Mbps. Asked about the 2 but it's not possible, apparently.
Yesterday t'internet was unusable I called the helpline and it seems there was "a known problem afecting some people's access to the
internet and/or speed of accesing web pages that was being worked on". It came back on later, but slow. Today it seems to be back to normal.

What's fast about 512K dial-up?

Dialup was commonly 56k (it never reached but advertised as it!) Common speeds were 40k.
You could get ISDN at 512k but it was silly money!
I had a 9.6k modem as my first connection. Was quite good really but then I did have a 286 with 21mb hard drive...
Those were the days. Oh the mammaries...

ISDN at 512K??? Best I ever saw was 128k, and that was bonded (ie you paid twice as much per minute!)
