There's a handy website called samknows.com that can show you info about your exchange, apparently Royston will be upgraded to 21CN (up to 20mb capabilities) on the 31st of March.

Thanks for the reply,
The reason I asked about upgrades Etc was answered on the site you gave cheers.
Sam says on the site:-
Broadband speeds:
One of the most common questions I receive about 21CN is this: "I have a really slow broadband connection. Will 21CN improve my speeds?". Technically 21CN alone will not. However, once the Wholesale Broadband Connect (WBC) product line becomes available at your exchange (April 2008 at the earliest, excluding trials), you can order ADSL2+. One of the inherent advantages of ADSL2+ is the speed boost attainable on longer/poorer phone lines (See [8]). Keep in mind that this is by no means a dramatic boost though.
I think the date he writes would be when BT started "upgrading"
