There is a large country park with river medlock flowing through the shortest road I know hasn't got NTls cables along it as a friend who lives on the farm on it can't have NTL and there are only three homes along that road in the valley..
Correct me if I am wrong but if you are sent the longest way round will that not slow down your internet connection.

At the speed of light a few miles extra doesn't make much difference
Not really my thing but if I have time I'll test all 14
of them Monday morning using

Please note
This is not a definitive bandwidth test, my own DSL at home doesn't get anywhere near 1Mbit on this test, but on their other Maxspeed test achieves 120+k/s! before a load of people begin running this religiously and then complain cos they are only getting 3 - 400kbit/s on it :p
For a raw speed test this is much more accurate:
