300 to 400Kb/sec or 0.3 to 0.4Mb/sec Up and 7Mb/sec Down would be typical within a mile or so of the exchange. I am about 4 miles from the exchange and apparently the main underground cables are in very poor condition.

I am told the modem in the exchange 'negotiates' a reliable speed with the modem in my house over a week or so which maximizes the speed for the line conditions.

The up speed is rarely impeded and is usually much lower than the down speed. The ratio between the two isn't a relevant factor. At Ulverston it was 0.4Mb Up and 8Mb/sec Down. The exchange was just round the corner.

When the fiber does come I MAY get 10Mb Up?
