for the record:

You are approximately 314 metres from the exchange (straight line distance).
unless you are very unlucky (aluminium line or something) you can expect a fairly fast synch speed probably in excess of 12mbit.

Told Pipex to stuff their contract up their **** and got me the hell out of ADSL land and into Cable world.

I will NEVER touch ADSL again.
one example of those who state anything under 2km is good is innaccurate.
