plusnet and nildram have 1 and 2M services in the £40-50 bracket

That's not too much of a worry, I'm only 750m from the exchange, and my line
loss is in the high 30s.

& the cut off is 35 so you fail....

See what i mean, mind you at 750mtrs it does appear to be a little
higher than normal...

Well I failed my original line test at 37.5, mind you that was with
the good old whoosh test which is now history anyway. I can
distinctly remember getting the red unhappy face, after I had had an
argument with the DSL lev.1 who insisted that I would be able to get
it, that showed him. Unfortunately it ment I got stuck with this
bunch of cowboys...

You should be ok but I tend to think that the down stream SNR is a tad
high. But what the hell I'm just the hairy bottomed (got to have a
shave) engineer who has to go round fixing these things & the way
they're tending to try & dumb down our test system so that we only
have to look for the green smiley faces (I kid you not) it's easy to
miss remember some of the numbers....

Downstream Upstream
SNR Margin 38.8 31.0 dB
Line Attenuation 37.6 19.5 dB

What about my figures? Could I get 1/2mbit?
