Woodley Exchange provides excellent services including ADSL, ADSL+, 21CN and FTTC (to some areas) plus the availability of LLU Y R A services from Sky, C&W, Talk Talk and Zen Internet over BT infrastructure, plus fibre based business services. Based on the standard M copper services, Woodley Exchange can only offer broadband speeds of around 2-3Mbs at this time, due to distance constraints. M U S However, this exchange has been enabled to provide BT Infinity services with speeds of up to 80Mbs download but is currently T B unavailable at this location with no dates given for future deployment (Data via the BT website). Wokingham Exchange to the south east affords a similar range of services and could provide a level of diversity and resilience across BT business services if required.
