Just a small addition this morning: a campaign listing for all registered campaigns on this site. The list currently weighs in at around 200 entries.
View all the campaigns!
If you haven’t yet listed your campaign on here, you can do it by clicking here. Statistics for your exchange will be updated six times per day once
Sorry I haven’t added much in the past few days - I’m heavily snowed under with other work at the moment. I’ve updated all the exchange maps though, and a new UK map is shown below (Click for a larger version!).
UK ADSL Coverage - 27/11/2003
You can also download the source file for this map (which
This weeks normal RFS dates are out… take a look at the RFS Announcements.
Sadly, none of the 32 that triggered automatically last week were included. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see on that one.
I’ve finally got round to sorting out maps for almost every exchange in the UK. You can view these maps by finding your exchange, and hitting “View Map”.
Take Torpoints Map as an example. Let me know what you think of them! I know they’re only quite basic at the moment, but theres now room for
We’re going to be installing a new UPS on the server and the router today around 1pm.
This means that www.samknows.com will be offline for about 5-10 minutes. I apologise for this, but it’s something that really has to be done - and soon!
That’s right, 30 new Ready For Service dates are out now. This is seperate from the six that were released yesterday as part of partnership schemes.
Head on over to the Ready For Service Announcements page for the complete list.
I completely forgot to post this yesterday… so here’s a list of all the trigger levels released yesterday and their number of preregistrations (as of 10am ish yesterday). Oddly I have only 2299 triggers listed… but I think that may be explained by one exchange having a duplicate OLO Code.

We all know that todays announcements have caused huge joy, and some disapointment, amongst campaigners. But how has it affected the country as a whole?
The maps below show the state of ADSL in Britain a few days before the announcement, and the state of it now.

By now you’ve probably seen the news… But if you haven’t, there were about 2300 new trigger levels announced this morning!
For the definitive answer on your trigger, I suggest heading over to BT.com/broadband/
Anyway, my tracker is updating as I type, and should be done within an hour or so
Happy trigger-day !
*** UPDATE 11:45am
The pre-registration system is alive and working!
For anyone who’s not familiar with this, it basically allows you to have your own pre-registration form on your website. No more linking users to BT or anywhere else, it can all be done from your website. Plus, you can see the registrations as they come in.

News in brief…
The universal registration form is all ready… just waiting for some info from the ISP’s before I can launch it! A few websites are already running it and report good results so far
There’s no Ready For Service dates this week, as you’re probably already aware. The big review of a whole
Couple of small new additions today. The Javascript registration counters which people can use on their page have a couple of new options.
Firstly, exchanges without a trigger can now the script report “Not set” for the trigger rather than just “0″. This is done by using trigger-word rather than trigger.
Secondly, for exchanges with
Yesterday saw the launch of the Hampshire Broadband website. This is a collaboration between Hampshire County Council and Wired Wessex. It aims to raise awareness about broadband and to find solutions for areas that are not yet covered. One feature that will be useful to campaigners is the ability to create your own campaign site
No real news today… just wanted to say that if you’re wondering how to use data, or have any thoughts on the site, drop me a line on MSN Messenger. My email on there is sam@rapidpcs.com (Note: Not my usual one!)
I’ve added a barometer graph for each exchange now. It’s in the style of the new one used at www.bt.com/broadband/. An example can be seen by clicking here.
For instructions on how to use it, view your exchange page, click instructions and copy the code from there.
I should also add that exchanges which have campaigns listed
Some of you may have noticed that the graphs have been a bit slow at loading recently. This is largely due to the fact that they were generated dynamically as and when you requested them.
In an effort to speed up the loading times on graphs, I’ve implemented a caching system. This means that graphs are
A few more Ready For Service dates appeared on the checker this morning. These look like they’re the result of the partnership schemes currently being run in certain areas - this time in Scotland.
Anyway, Christmas will come just over a week early (December 17th!) for anyone living in one of these areas…
