    Phone rang, nobody there, it then rang again, nobody there. Light came on the
    router yippee, then after a minute it went off again. Then for about 10 minutes
    it went between off and yellow which was an indication it was trying to
    synchronise with exchange but failing.
    I waited... and voila! now connected with a solid green light.

    Now down to the nitty gritty. When I was unable to get adsl before being out of
    the limits, I was approximately 6.75km from the exchange with 65db (these
    figures given to me by BTopenworld.

    Today, these are the results from www.adslguide.org speedtest...

    Downstream 465 Kbps (58.1 KB/sec) 502 Kbps (inc. overheads)
    Upstream 244 Kbps (30.5 KB/sec) 263 Kbps (inc. overheads)


    Then went on to download a trailer from RockstarGames at a steady 60KB/sec.

    Fantastic. So glad it worked out and I hope these results give hope to others
    previously out of the limits.

    65db is unacceptable for adsl. Bet he gets booted offline loads! :)

    64db for 512k
    45db for 1024k
