Is voice clear and noise free?

Yes.

That's a bugger, as getting BT Openreach to sort out a noisy line is damn
site easier (even with LLU) than getting them to trace a problem with
ADSL.

I'm in a city suburb, and a few roads away the houses have different
codes and are served by a different exchange (according to Samknows).

Ah, lines in built up areas can go, literally, around the houses on their
way back to the exchange, taking really circuitous routes. Unless you know
you only have a 3 mile line by talking to a BT engineer fixing it, (he'll
know from his reflectrometer) there could be a couple of miles spent
wandering off in strange directions.

another reason for the involved companies (BT Openreach (the wire), BT
Wholesale (the backhaul), UKOnline/Easynet) to bounce the problem
between themselves.

Is that a euphemism for passing the buck?

If you like, yes.
