"Rim Information" for Como shows that I am nowhere near a RIM.
Telstra has ADSL 2+ enabled.
I am about 900 m "as the crow flies" and actual about 1.6 Km from the
exchange with an estimated max speed of 170,000 and am in Zone 1
-------
If you're only 1.6 km cable distance from the exchange, you should be
getting way better than you're quoting - I'm an estimated 2.22 km
cable distance from the exchange, and I get on average 13 megabits per
second on my ADSL2 link - and the cabling in this house purely sucks.
Call your ISP and ask if they can check your line - but remove any
extension cables first, because the first thing they'll ask you is if
your modem is directly connected to the phone socket.

Extension cables are really really crap, if you can make it under a
meter it'll make a difference.
I believe its mainly because they aren't made of twisted pair.
