    That was a typo in a earlier post. The old upload speed was (and still is for some of us) 128k

    I like the formula one guy has for calculating your line distance from the exchange.
    Your downstream line attenuation / 13.81. I don't know how "official" it is, but in my case it seems to be fairly accurrate.
    34 / 13.81 = 2.461 KM

    Interesting,

    I'm 3.4 KM away! :eek:

    Maybe ADSL2+ will help you (if they ever roll it out). I think it increases the distance to 8 or 9 KM so the same formula probably doesn't apply.
    How far out are you?
    6.5 km. It's a close call but ADSL should be able to work unrepeatered from what I can tell (look at BT).
