Probably down to UBR usage?
If we are to believe the VM spin about " copper cable " being for "Telephone lines" whether it is 200m or even 10% of that then it is still going to be slowed down?
I can see right through the VM BS unfortunately there are some that cannot
No, you have your own agenda..

Actually, as far as it goes, VM's statement is not BS. The simple fact is that ADSL (even the wonderful 2+ that is used for LLU connections) does have distance limitations. Cable does not. Of course, it has other problems (such as capacity on UBRs), but ADSL could theoretically suffer those as well.

If you believe that is BS, just look at any vaguely technical documentation on ADSL..
