I live 2944m away from my local exchange. With VM I can get a good solid 8 - 9Mb+ on my 10Mb connection, now if I went to ADSL I wouldn't get more than 1.5Mb on ADSL and more than 2Mb on ADSL2...

So in a sense, Virgin are right in some cases. I think just like BT phone lines it depends on the condition of the lines? I mean some of these lines must of been down for years.
