Yes agree and should have mentioned that as well.

My point being that I had a difference between to ADSL's coming to 
seemingly the same place of 1.5MB between the good and poor one and 
they would not look in to it as it was within acceptable limits and 
they tried to fob me off and to tell me that it was due to distance my 
home was from the exchange and not the route/cable quality or exchange 
equipment I was connected to. On one occasion I was told I was lucky 
to get any broadband even though I had service for 8yrs plus.

Anyway I got it solved after some persistance and once I got past the 
autoque robots. Once past them the level of service I got from the 
support team was very good indeed as I had the DSlam equipement I was 
attached to changed, config rebuilt and the line pairs changed from 
the exchange to my house.
