To avoid repetition, see

The speed you get (on ADSL-max or +) will be dependent on the
distance from the exchange, whether you adequately isolate
your private, in-house phone wiring and whether the ISP you
choose "throttles" your traffic if you use it too much. Watch
out for the after-sales service - with some, it can be
expensive in call charges... Generally, the smaller the ISP
the better.
