Pity that some of the details are not correct, the addess/placement is
also out & it even is missing some exchanges.

Other than that, quite good

I put in the telephone number of a service line in a local exchange, and it's
exclusive postcode and it gave me
"6.5Mbps or greater " - So it's pretty close to the mark.

Just checked for me and I'm told
"According to BT Wholesale, your line should be able to support a 1.5Mbps or
greater ADSL connection via ADSL Max.

Standard ADSL RAG results:
You cannot receive 2Mbps ADSL
You may be able to receive 1Mbps ADSL
You can receive 512Kbps ADSL
You can receive 256Kbps ADSL

You are approximately 1.55km from the exchange (straight line distance).

There appears to a compatibility issue with your phone line. This could be
caused by an existing DSL connection, ISDN, a DACS unit, TPON, a pending
ADSL order or many other common issues. This will need to be resolved before
ADSL can be supplied to your line."

I have ADSLMAX now at around 4Mbps!

Is the compatibility message standard when there is an existing service, or
do I have a problem?

The fact that you already have ADSL will cause this. Try these two checkers
and see what you get

I put the number for the old pto's office in whitley bay exchange in
the BT checker and it said "your line is too long to support
broadband" - the line was 6m away from the mdf !
