A quick look at adslguide shows a user at 4.1km receiving over 8Mbit.

I think ofcom used the formula that actual line distance compared to straight line is 1.4 or 140%, personally I think that seems too low. I wonder if BT are using as crow flies as their figures are higher.

Yeah I know its very possible for longer lines to over perform, but because also lines under perform its best to assume they cancel each other out.

Hmm he got a very low attenuation, how sure is it that the line is 4.1km with a 24 attenuation. 20mbit is impossible at 4km no matter how good the noise.
