I did some BT wholesale checks on houses on my street.
I am estimated at 60+mbit down and 20mbit up
Go 50 houses away tho and its down to half speed for the down and just 6mbit up. VDSL seems to have a very severe speed drop on distance compared to ADSL. But since there is many cabinets most people will be close to one.

Well Ive just had sky fibre installed and i am 300+ meters from the cab!
and was estimated 40mb down and 10up
but when the openreach guy turned up he said i would get 76/20 no problem
So maybe its not all down to distance, but he did say however that there's only 2 people on fibre on the whole estate!!
and.....
got the pro this morning get 65mb down and 18mb up with homeplugs,
on my rig, cant tell on the other computer in the house cause its an old P4 and won't do much more than 42mb cabled!!!
speedtest done last night before the connection went pro, on a 6 year old P4 (Hard wired)!!
