Will be interesting to see how much speed I get.
DSL is a shared system, the fewer users there are the faster for the few.
I live across the road from a DSLAM enabled(very recently) RIM, it's fibreoptic from the main exchange to the RIM, then copper from the RIM to my socket... maybe 50 to 100 metres max.
At this stage that RIM has 36 empty ports...
So I'm looking good at the start, 'till 36 more connections are made, then I'm sharing with everyone else

Anyway, I think I've made this OT enough....
