hi stuart,
is what you say a bit flawed, your statement about fibere optics offers the impression (to the unwary) that it is a completely fibre connection from exchange to home, where in fact it is the backbone which is fibre but from the distribution cabinet node its copper screened.

speeds are also dependent on how many users per node, so your figures are based on mr billy no mates being the only one on that node to attain the maximum speeds.
