In the opening post he gives downstream attenuation of 45dB, and a good sync for that. Which puts him at over 2km line length from the exchange.

its 800m according to uswitch checker but heres my line stats

As Bob said, over 2k. Stats look OK, few errors, but OK.

Ah, you know me Bob, that would have involved reading the whole thread, AND paying attention. It's Sunday morning, and there's tea to be drunk, breakfast to be cooked, etc.

yea what I dont get is according to uswitch street stats someone 100m closer to the exchange in geographical terms gets 12meg

Distance from the exchange is irrelevant.

It's the length of the cable that matters. It can go up your street, in the opposite direction, then down the other side, then off sideways to somewhere else, and finally head to the exchange.

There is someone on here who is close to the exchange, but there is a river between them and it. So the cable goes a long way along until it reaches a crossing place, then back down the other side. That's a bit extreme, but ....

All this stuff is a little vague. Look at the map from this very site, folk real near by getting only 6.5 meg .... Most likely their set up, or a duff ISP at a busy time. 'Tis only a guideline.

thanks roberto makes sence thanks

thanks... Hope my exchange gets selected for fiber in the next round of exchange upgrades saying that my street may go down as not a viable street

Go do it . Hole, digging, stop. (You of all people should know it's too cold today for that). Sync is fine, throughput not mentioned.
