Well... Apparently you should be getting much more than that. I have really looked in to this... Apparently its all down to a) distance from your line (like you say) and something called signal noise ratio (SNR) and attenuation which you can access on your broadband router pages. All pretty much to do with the amount of noise on your line. If its noisy get BT to do something about it. I live 1.5km from my exchange according to the websites and it says I can get around 16-20 Meg on the new ADSL2 (which is what Sky and Be are using).The website was something like dslzone.co.uk or something like that.
If you ring 17070 from your phone and do a 'quiet line test' and then when they ask if your authorised just press 1 and see if you can hear any crackling.It's an automated BT thing.
