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

Loop loss averages 10dB / km. Another 3dB or so is added by CPE equipment. I'm spot on for that, 1.4km line, 17dB downstream attenuation.
Ofcom's stated average is 1.4 * straight line distance, you may not follow that but it's still the average of the lines across the country so you have no reason at all to claim that he's probably longer distance beyond personal experience and heresay. Forums always tend to show the worst.
Try not to always see glass half empty because your own experience isn't too hot
