Straight line makes no difference at all
Correct.

And now i see why you get good speeds. I am 1.5 km from the exchange but my cable length is 2.9 kms.

However i am 8 km from the cable exchange and when the 20 meg trial was on i got 19 meg .

Different technology which will ensure cable will beat ADSL hands down until BT dump the speaker wire connection.

Cables weak link is the UBR which NTL need to be continually upgrading as more customers come on line.
