The line stats, etc, that I've seen disagree with that though perhaps I haven't seen the best subset.
Ah well Ofcom have better data than I do you'd hope so I'll have to concede that one 
Amusingly the loudest complainer of ADSL performance here is one of that 17% but has a pants line 
On the upside the majority of the UK can get 4Mbit+ according to BT, which is 'decent' performance in my opinion, contrary to what some might say. |
LLU performance disagrees because many LLU providers full stop to provision long lines. That might have a slight factor.
I just state facts these are not made up figures.
Its a fact the majority get below advertised speeds on adsl due to the nature of the technology so I am not sure what you are trying to achieve by shooting me down other then to sell adsl for your employer by misleading people.

yes its 400kbit, rather low. although users often get way below this been throttled by their isps etc. and nothing is done about it.

Not everyone with poor lines lives in the sticks it affects many people in city areas.
Give you a hint I am walking distance from a major city centre.

latency would be the major factor.
