Some work better with BT's kit than others.

Your line may take a different route to other people making it a touch longer, however it's hard to be certain as your line is so long your router doesn't accurately measure it as it only goes up to 63dB attenuation
That was one of the things BT told me when I phoned them; that our line could take a longer route that our neighbor who is getting just shy of 2 MB/s.

But in any case, she is still over 5 miles away from her exchange even with a completely strange line, and even if our line takes a longer route, Harlosh is pretty small (as in tiny) so it cannot be that big a difference.

No, I cannot try another router, sorry -- I don't particularly want to buy a new one either, unless it really is the problem.
