Yeah I agree on the points you have made but there are other factors aswell as the distance from the exchange which affects your connection speed such as line attenuation and S/N margin / profile.
The key point is regardless of the ADSL technology your speed wont increase if you already on a...
Also for you mate the distance you are from your local exchange is going to have a heavy impact for the speed you can achieve on a ADSL connection as you have found out.
Sorry to mock and I dont mean to be nasty lol but people assumptions are rather ammusing which brings me to comments made in this thread.

Just because an ISP offers "up to" 24Mbps why the hell do people think they are going to get a good...
No I think I am correct and I know about ADSL 2+. This guy said he can only get around 2Mbps from a lets say 8Mbps line so why would he get a better speed on a 24Mbps line :S. If he is correct in what he is saying that he only gets 2Mbps then I doubt that the sole problem lies with his internal...
Well if your line had loads of errors on it caused by corrosion or whatever and Openreach have replaced it with new copper between junctions then you are probably achieving the most you can get out of your line which is obviously what you want :)
It doesn't quite work like that lol. If you only achieve 2Mbps from an "up to 8Mbps" connection then no matter what you upgrade to your speed will still be the same.
See people just cant jump on the band wagon thinking its down the copper between the exchange and your property. In Colin's case it was but its always going to be different for everyone. The most common cause of slow ADSL Internet is peoples internal wiring and devices attached to the line as well.
You should be able to tell if its the line quality causing you problems by looking at the errors you get via your modem / router. Bt / Openreach will always put up a fight to do any extensive work like this to rectify a fault.
Looks like you came out on top anyway :)
Right ok need to find the best deal on a Elite.

Thanks.
Dont get me wrong the Wii is a good laugh but just doesnt get used enough and it is downstairs so it never gets a look in over bloody corry or eastenders lol.
Thinking about getting a 360 which will replace my hardley ever used Wii (anyone want to buy a wii ;)).
Just wondering which one to look at between the Arcade, Premium and Elite. Im no expert on the 360 as I never used to be interested so just need to know which one would be best. Do they all...
