^^ BT's routing is pretty naff and/or your probably on the lowest level of interleaving on VDSL2 which puts the first hop at about 15ms instead of 5-6ms on fastpath - if its just been installed this should sort itself out over the next few days. (if like myself and a few others your in the South of England but being routed out onto the public internet via an entry node onto colossus in Sheffield because BT is daft then your out of luck).

Well, I had an OpenReach voice engineer around to fix noise on my line, which was affecting the ADSL. I asked where my PCP was and he told me. Took a walk up there (it's about 320M to my PCP) and guess what? No FTTC cab! 
If I travel away from my house for roughly the same distance but in the opposite direction, those residents have their FTTC cab already fitted (albeit unpowered).
I'm hoping they can find space for one near my PCP - the road isn't that big, and neither is the pavement...

Crosstalk might account for some of the loss. Get the IP profile from the BT speedtest.
Got a reply from the nga.enquires email
Also tried the suggestion of @BTCare. Asked to fill out a webform which I did and received a phone call within a few hours (which is good) but the chap on the phone was next to useless/clueless, he said my exchange would be enabled soon
and couldn't provide any other information. The exchange was enabled for FTTC at the start of 2011 iirc.

What is the current situation with news regarding FTT(p/c) direct from the exchange?
The reason I ask is that I'm looking at moving and one of the houses I'm looking at connects direct to the exchange. There are no FTTC cabs in the area but there are in the closest small City some 3 miles down the road. Estimated speed on ADSL is some 19Mbps which isn't too bad but I would love my fibre back.

@mike306
I got a similar reply and the same estimated date.
At least it's better than some vague end of quarter date. .
How do you find out this kind of information regarding a prospective property?

This is my wonderful speeds tonight on Infinity, been almost a month like this now and no end in site.
is there any grounds to get out and move to a different provider?
Just tested mine... (and just for comparison mate)
...as for getting out, if memory serves me right I could have sworn there is a minimum speed limit set by BT and your d/load falls way below it!
