Availability checker revamp!

Posted: Saturday 7th August 2004 by Sam
Lately I've had the chance to experiment with revamping the availability checker on the site. I've incorporated a few ideas people have emailed in (Thanks!) and have designed it with ease of use in mind.

Aside from making it easier to use, I've also added a fair few new checks on it, including LTT, Netvigator, Node4, improved ADSL checking and also a very primitive (but dynamic!) map. I realise the "Locality" maps are very basic at present, but I do intend on improving them over the coming weeks. You can also now share your results with other people by copying the link on the resulting page. Instructions are provided within.

The new availability checker can be found here. I would love to hear feedback about it! So, if you've got a spare minute, drop me a line at sam@samknows.com.

Additionally, the ADSL postcode checking problems I experienced recently have now be solved (Thanks BT!).
