Its possible to have low noise but high fluctuation so bursts of noise that force BT to raise your SNR to make the line stable, again reducing your speed.
Likewise its possible to have a long line that has very low noise and it over performs but I think the former is more common then the latter.

Amazingly there's also been the odd person here and there who's enjoying a pretty reasonable service on ADSL.
Who'd have thought that with considerably over 100 million subscribers on ADSL there'd be a few happy people.
Sorry Chrysalis but I think you're forgetting that, just as here, ADSLGuide is not going to be frequented for the most part by people who are there to say how wonderful and stable their service is. You're also again extrapolating your own issues and those of a few other people as being the vast majority.
I appreciate that BT haven't done the greatest job with their rollout of Max DSL but that shouldn't be confused with DSL being a bad technology. Again mine works beautifully and I'd imagine I'm in the vast majority there. That majority is pretty much silent while the minority are far more vocal.
Unfortunate that this thread is again degenerating into a cable vs DSL discussion, really who gives a **** about the technology, if the companies using it offer the wrong products at the wrong prices or don't use the technology properly it's all completely irrelevant.
