512k they should be able to pretty easily.

With 1km being approximately 10db line loss you are talking about a line
loss of about 90-100db at least (this is where the old supposed line length
limits sprang from, firstly 4.5km equating to 45db then 6km equating to
60db). Now taking noise levels into the equation the chances of actually
getting a usable signal at those distances is almost negligible......
As I said before if he's very lucky he may get sniff but..........

IMHO As Krafee has pointed out... No ! You could be better off trying to get
a Home 250 service if you do fail to get it to work.

As one who lives 8.7 Km from an enabled exchange and cannot get any
digital services whatsoever (even Highway) - please let us know if you
succeed. I am told that some ADSL modems are a lot better than others
on weak signals but am not sure what might work best. I have seen a
bulletin board post suggesting that a Linksys WAG54G synchronised on a
9.5KM line when nothing else would. As a matter of note, all ISP's
will accept an order as long as your exchange is enabled irrespective
of how far you are away. That is current BT policy. When the self
install fails, your ISP should ask BT to try and achieve a service.

waned have now asked bt to check and repair any faults on the line THW my
dial up connection in only 24 kbs but my sister in law 1.5 km away after
having there line replaced connects at 42 kbs.

Sounds as though your line might have the dreaded DACS fitted? If so,
BT should remove this before they try anything else.

Demon accepted my ADSL order for an enabled exchange but modem failed to
synchronise.
BT engineer brought his modem with the same result so pronounced
unsuitable.
I wish I had realised that to demonstrate synchronisation all I had to
do was plug the USB modem into the computer without software just to
observe if the green light stopped flashing.
Weary BT "engineer" noted that much of my 6?kM line was aluminum and
therefore higher attenuation/noise
Optical would be installed to the local pseudo exchange but BT would not
be paying for any POTs upgrade.
