Useful graph here: http://www.internode.on.net/adsl2/graph/index.htm, many others around showing similar results |
OK and what's the average line length in areas which are cabled?
I presume you have facts backing your assertion that by UK standards 2km is close to the exchange, yes, or is it based on the experience of friends, etc?
Line length is of course not the only issue, line noise, quality of copper, etc, can all also affect performance.
I will try and dig out some hard facts when I get the chance, however I'm pretty sure that the average UK line will do around the 10Mbit mark on ADSL2+.
EDIT: Please note for those accusing me of bias that I also commented negatively as well as positively - I didn't have to mention line noise and copper quality
