It's quite old - I took part in the trial run of FTTC.

You're right - I was somehow confusing the first post with ADSL rather than VDSL.
I'll just get my coat...

The BT engineer arrived today as promised and he spent about an hour checking copper connections & FTTC speeds. Fixed a connector in the downlead and installed a Mk 4 socket that looks similar (but slightly different) to this:-
Turns out my FTTC only runs at 30Mb/sec due to a cabinet fault - which a second engineer will have to fix.
He said that I only lose about 2Mb/sec due to being 150m from the cabinet - but that sounds too good to be true.

I noticed a couple of Openreach vans camped out next to my green box, all weekend.
Whilst, I don't believe this was solely for me:-
My download speeds used to be about 65 Mbits/sec and has recently been about 25Mbits/sec
It's recently achieved about 78Mbits/sec (reproducibly), so I downloaded a 100GByte file from a ftp site and everything seems fine.
Since I'm about 160m from the green box, 78MBits/sec seems rather good.
