"Boosting" BT Broadband registration ?

[beekae]

Unfortunately I live in an area where BT require 500 people to register an interest before upgrading the exchange.
So far it seems to have stalled at around 80.

Is there a way to "boost" this figure,apart from getting friends and relations to register-done that.

I imagine if I started filling it up with UK-Info disc customers,I'd be sussed.

Any ideas ??:rolls:

Users Abusing BT Registration Scheme

Europemedia reports that BT's broadband registration scheme that allows users to register an interest in broadband if their local exchange is not ADSL-enabled is being abused by unknown users.

The scheme collects 'registrations of interest,' and when a trigger level marking financial viability is achieved, the host ISP contacts BT, who go about setting up the local exchange with ADSL.

That would be the case in North Wrexham (N.Wales), were it not for the fact that the host company discovered over 200 false registrations, presumably from people hoping to get their connection speeded up.

Following this discovery, all registrations were voided, and the process will begin again, causing frustration to locals who will have to re-register.

At least two other registration areas are believed to have been targeted and, according to the report, the problem was discovered when actual orders taken following achieved the trigger levels were far lower than the initial requests.

It wont help you, as they actually want people to sign up before they perform the upgrade.
