Is there a website somewhere that can tell me how far I'm away from the exchange? Also, is there something similar to find out where the nearest FTTC cabinet is? There's a cabinet at the end of my street about 400 metres away but I'm not sure if this is the one I'm connected to or if there is another one that is nearer (but in a less obvious location).

However, your line length may be much longer. And that is what counts.
