Ah understood. BT won't guarantee anything above 6.5Mbit regardless of how close you are to the exchange, they play conservatively with their speed estimations. 6.5Mbit really means that you should synch at the full 8Mbit but they don't want to claim that just incase there's a slight fault on line or whatever which causes it to be unable to reach that rate.

Nothing really that interesting there just BT covering their own backsides, nothing personal to you

FWIW according to the BT checker I'm only good for 5.5 for sure, but synch above 8.
