Or within about 2KM...

Approximate Ranges of ADSL products, obviously hugely dependent on other things:

Line Length (for loss in dB multiply by 10 and add 10)

2KM - 8Mbit (over 50% of those in BT enabled areas are in this bracket)
3KM - 6Mbit
4KM - 4Mbit
5KM - 2Mbit (97% success rate at this speed and distance)

Line length can be approximated as straight line distance from exchange multiplied by 1.4.

BT are trialling 8Mbit with a view to a nationwide release, not only urban areas. Should offer those who aren't able to avail themselves of LLU operators access to higher rated services and encourage more competition on speed with cablecos.

Distance from exchange is available from http://www.samknows.com - just go to availability checker and enter your postcode.
