What you say makes sense; &nbsp;BT is the primary source so it would be an idea to try and find a solution with them directly.<br />

Thanks.

Hello,<br />
<br />
I am looking for information on how to setup a broadband deals comparison service - like the ones you might find at sites such as uSwitch. &nbsp;You enter a postcode and/or telephone number and the site does a database check to see if broadband is available in your area/on your line and sometimes even notes any capacity limits. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The closest thing I have found for the UK Broadband providers in the UK is <a href="http://www.samknows.com/broadband/dataoutput.php" rel="ugc">http://www.samknows.com/broadband/dataoutput.php</a><br />
<br />
It is an availability API, but unfortunately the access is upon request and I am having some difficulty in establishing contact with the site owner. &nbsp;I understand that behind this API there must be some kind of database that holds all the line information according to postcode areas.<br />
<br />
If anyone has any ideas on how to go about accomplishing this task of setting up a broadband deals comparison service, please let me know!<br />
<br />
Thanks.

UK Broadband Line Test API Script - Checking Availability By Postcode

The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, fiber optics, wireless (for which there is a separate topic), satellite and broadband over powerlines (BPL).
