So you cant look at a map and draw a circle covering 2km and say right all those people will get 10mbit it dont work like that.
Yes I am very sure about the 10km radius, unless samknows has missing exchanges.

I think the real situation is yes ofcom will force them to resell it, but lets not kid ourselves they will still be reselling it at a profit, like they still make a profit on the ADSL they are forced to resell. Its just the BT shareholders want XXXXXX profit instead of XXXX.

You reckon they make a ton of profit on LLU now? You're mistaken if you think that's the case.
I'm aware that you can't draw a circle and say xxx will get x speed there - I do actually work with the stuff every day I don't base what I know on reading forums.
Your exchange might be different and infact I think Leicester is one of the notable areas like that along with Milton Keynes, however if you think you can extrapolate that to over 5,000 exchanges I'd disagree.

Indicates 50% of UK lines are less than 2KM long offering theoretical 15Mbit on ADSL2+.

Gives a somewhat less optimistic view, so if we take something in the middle 25% being appropriate for 16Mbit is reasonable, as is 50% being capable of >10Mbit.
Another issue is that a lot of UK lines are actually outperforming the expected performances due to the copper plany being of a better quality than anticipated, though obviously some are also underperforming.
Anyway there's some data to chew over, the first report is based on data from operators themselves, the second is extrapolated.
