not as good tho
you have a steady stream of packetloss there, SRA would likely prevent that. BE decided to not adopt SRA like nearly every isp, instead they concentrate on what works best for short lines.

The big red bit is as my IP addy has changed again, happens all the time with BT.  |
how is your ip changing do you keep turning the router off? or do they force a disconnect to change the ip?

Base latency can and does get lower than adsl, jitter is the main issue.
here is some examples to bbc.co.uk.
Current VM connection - 13ms
ukonline - 9ms
xilo - 20ms
aaisp - 25ms
entanet - 25ms
all those fast path, bt wholesale's network seems to have very odd routing to london, with interleaving it wasnt unusual for me to have latency above 40ms. Of course low latency is near useless if jitter is excessive.
