Don/t be daft. I am that distance, its mostly overhead, and I get

3.5Mbps

Which distance, 5 or 15 thousand feet?

5000 feet.

So you are getting a lower sync rate than me (3.5 v 5(*) ish) but my
line is three times the length of yours at 15,000' but underground...
Overhead is not good for ADSL. I presume that sync rate is what it
will maintain 24/7. What happens if it syncs at night?

fixing the faults they put on ferreting in the joints the first
time... Fecking ali cable...
