Sorry folks, I’m in “fibre all the way” mode on this thread, so apologies for any confusion caused.
As posted by @upnortheast the performance of FTTC solutions (ADSL2 and G.fast etc) tails off the further you are from the cabinet.
In the case of the later, faster technologies like G.fast which promise some amazing download speeds, you practically must be next door to the cabinet to get anywhere near the speeds advertised.
Otherwise the copper based speeds tail off very sharply indeed. Which is why I hate copper connections - they inevitablely over promise and under deliver.
If you're in the sticks like us, they just suck.
