Virginia, According to a speed check on postcode TN31 6, the advertised maximum available speed you could achieve is 16mbps although the realistic maximum that should be achievable is 2.4 - 8mbps. This is all dependant on distance from your local 'green box' and how far it is from the exchange, quality of the line connecting your premises to the local green box, quality of your internal wiring and connection of your router to the telephone system; is it connected to the primary socket? Do you have ADSL Microfilters connected to EVERY telephone socket that has a device plugged into it Sky Box, Telephones, Extensions, central heating oil senders etc. etc.
If you can answer yes to all of these questions, there's very little that can be done to improve the service you receive through your telephone line but there are alternatives. Take a look at http://www.ruralbroadband.co.uk/tooway-20 - if you have nearby neighbours who also use the internet but are disappointed by the experience, the installation and ongoing cost can be shared.
