its 2.61 straight, if we used ofcoms stated average of 1.4 per 1 to calculate it then the real distance could be estimated at 3.65km and then it would depend on the cabling BT used it could range from horrible aliminium to thick copper, the average loop loss per km seems to be 15-17db so he would be looking at over 50db attenuation in my opinion and that is likely to mean 4-5meg at best depending on line noise.

Be aware I reckon your real length is probably longer then 4km, I am 1.65 straight and 3.96km actual length.
