Its really tempting as I can get 20meg from Be for the same price as 4 (traffic shaped) with VM.
There's no relationship between line distances and speed. Theoretically, you should get around 21meg, but it's not as simple as that. This is where line attenuation comes in. I've seen people who's lines are half the length of mine, but double the attenuation, so I would get better throughput. I know it's no comfort to you Gavin, but you won't really know until your line is up and running, and you have some line stats to look at.
