As far as it goes, that is probably right, VM don't include LLU ISPs when talking about ADSL based ISPs, and, for their off-net connections, they use standard ADSL (which is limited to around 8 meg theoretically, and 6.5 meg actually). Also, bear in mind, they are trying to persuade you to stay with Cable, so they might underrepresent the speed of ADSL.

If you are that near to the exchange, you should certainly get more than 10 meg from Be, and I'd be surprised if you didn't get at least 18.
