I've noticed such bad speeds on my line recently, My router syncs at over 1 meg, but eclipse profile always at 288kb/s. Anyway, When I've checked BTchecker before it's always reported that I could get up to a 2meg line no problem. Nad previously when ive been with BT this was the case.

Now recently I've done the checker and it is returned this report

Your exchange is ADSL enabled, and our initial test on your line indicates that it is VERY UNLIKELY you will be able to receive 512Kbps or 256Kbps broadband service due to the very long length of your telephone line.

Why is this? any obvious explanation?

Thanks
