Fibre 2000m from Exchange - 80/20 or 40/10

Hi,

We've just gone live with Fibre in my village. Unfortunately I'm 2096m from the exchange and therefore only expecting speeds of around 10-15Mbps, even though my line can support 36ish Mbps. First off, is this assumption correct?

Secondly, would 80/20 increase my possible download speeds in this situation, or would I just be better off going with the cheaper 40/10

Any help would be great! Many thanks.

Exchange distance is irrelevant. Distance to the street cabinet is key.

40/10 is your max according to that estimate.

Sorry, yes, I meant 2096m from the cabinet.

Thanks for the help, appreciate it.

Why are you only expecting 10-15mbps if your line can support 36?

What results do you get for telephone number/address from this checker http://www.dslchecker.bt.com ?

No way would you get 36Mbps at 2km from the cabinet. Agreed, we need to see the results from the checker.

err ... "sorry, yes, I meant 2096m from the cabinet. "

Thanks for the responses all, appreciate it.

I've run the line checker:

Downstream Line Rate Upstream Line Rate
High Low High Low

VDSL RANGE A (Clean) 47.6 ; 35 | 10 ; 6.9
VDSL RANGE B (Impacted) 35 ; 18 | 8.4 ; 4.4

Is 18Mbps referring to the lowest I could expect before the distance from the cabinet takes effect? Or is that suggesting the overall lowest I should expect, regardless of distance, is 18Mbps? I would imagine the former.

I would expect about 30 mbps by those results but you could be lucky and get the 40+ estimate.

Even at 2096m from the cabinet?

You aren't.

The line above the estimate table gives you a cabinet number. If you post that number and the exchange, there are people here that will find it on google maps and give us the link.
