I'm getting 15-17Mbps using ADSL2+ on normal BT wet string in a village
here in the East Midlands, so unless you're in an area with lots of other
users dragging the speed down I'd have a quiet word with your ISP.
Mind you I'm around 170 metres from the exchange according to SamKnows,
so that probably makes a slight difference! :^)
