Does anyone know the distance form the exchange where the 1.3mbit upstream would drop to below NTL's current 300k offering?

The point that I was making was that you could get any speed below the stated maximum and the ISP is still providing what they are advertising. Many customers believe that if they subscribe to a particular speed package then there is something wrong if they don't get that speed or very close to it. You could subscribe to a package that offers 24mbit downloads and only get the equivalent of dial-up speeds and the ISP could rightly say that you are getting what is advertised. As ISP's provide faster and faster speeds then the likelihood of getting anywhere near the stated maximum is reduced considerably.
