How do you know the speed estimate from cab 2? Because based on this table, it's not such a difference

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/guide/fibre-broadband.html

Distance to cabinet (metres)    Estimated downstream connection speed    Estimated upstream connection speed    Cumulative %'age of premises at this distance
100m    100 Mbps    25 Mbps    5%

200m    65 Mbps    18 Mbps    20%

Thank you for posting this info.
My download speed is 24/25Mbps so I am 900/1000 metres from the exchange which I know is correct.
My upload speed is 2/3Mbps and with reference to the table at 900/1000 metres I should expect 8/9Mbps.

My upload speed is in line with the BT estimate when I contracted for Infinity 1, however, can anyone enlighten me why it is so different from the table?

From what I have read and seen on BBC the estimate from the BT Website is an average over 100 lines in that area so it won't give you the true DS and US sync for your specific line and also being on a long line 1000 meters the sync rate DS & US is 39Mbps and 6Mbps

That table is old and obsolete if it was correct my line length would be 500 meters instead of 1000 meters
