Unless you are pretty close to the exchnage you won't get 8Mbps. Those
magic 6pt words "up to" next to the 72pt "8Mbps", though I think Ofcom
might have tried to stop that sort of advertising now.
The exchange used to be at theend of our 100' garden, and our phone line
went direct from the house to the exchange via overhead cable. I got
6.5Mbps.

Athough I haven't tested the actual throughput yet, I'm getting a sync rate
of 7.5 MBit/sec on a short hop of old overhead line, and the exchange is
1/2 mile away.

At my last place we were about a mile from the exchange, and I got a
rock solid 8Mb connection. Shame the same can't be said of here, where
even 2Mb would be nice!
