The A of ADSL is the key! Typically most links will top out at about

VDSL (i.e. FTTC) will do a much better uplink at over 8Mb/s

I've recently been upgrading a network of private* ADSL1 connections,
some to ADSL2+M, some to EFM, some to FTTC, others to "proper" fibre,
depending on what's available at reasonable prices in various parts of
the sticks.

What options are available for areas that don't have local cabinets, and
the BT exchange can do ADSL max at best?

The FTTC ones have tended to be exceptionally close to the cabinet (as
in 5 yards outside the building) and have easily achieved 79Mbps down
and 19Mbps up speeds.

Most of the FTTC installs I have seen have done 70 or better downstream
(sync speed, if not actual throughput)
