i have ordered adsl before and failed the whoosh test.

the following conditions have to be correct to pass this test

Line Length < 3.5km to pass ( for 1mb/2mb)
Line Noise <= 55dB to pass
Line Capacitance <180nf to pass

i have rung bt faults who have done a line test which shows i am 3.25 km from exchange but the capacitance is 188!

is there anything i can do to rectify this problem myself. could my own equipment be causing this problem?? i have 3 phones plugged into the line
