Well if you are switching to ADSL, anything, it all depends on the capacity and usage of what you are put on. Unless you can get a better unbundled service from your exchange.

Take a look at some of the Entanet resellers. I'm with one, so am bias towards them lol. First class service though, I'm not a gamer, but I've yet to hear any complaints from gamers. And pings are very good.

Me too (close to the exchange that is, not Freeola), 840m as the crow flies, with full 8128 sync. You are at the mercy of BT though, some exchanges are better than others.

Full sync here too, needed to do some fiddling with the line though, remove defunct wiring so just leaving me with 2 and 5 terminal connected.
