plambrechtsen: As that is the direction the copper was laid by P&T all those years ago. Not much that can be done about it.

DjShadow: I've got a similar problem, only discovered it when we had VDSL installed. We have a cabinet literally 20-30m away just around the corner however we're on a cabinet about 250m away.
Just the way Telecom put cable down all those years ago, before DSL was even invented so never a consideration. 

sbiddle: You can't just change the cabinet you're connected to, it would essentially mean having to overbuilding the network from scratch with a new one.

sbiddle: I assume it's an RBI cabinet you're connected to? The vast majority of urban cabinets are a maximum of 1.5km or so radius.

You're presumably got no way of actually knowing the length of the MPF anyway since they don't always take the most direct route or follow roads?

coffeebaron: Have you had anyone in to check your wiring yet?

Hey, we are getting someone over to install a master splitter(recommended in another thread) will they check the quality of the wiring as well?

No RBI cabinets even in Chorus's plans. Or any plans for that matter.

I wish the Chorus SAT tool was up so I could tell you what exchange I am connected to, yes I know its not directly connected but just an approximate distance.

A master splitter will eliminate any wiring issues.
