Some DSL packages don't have this problem. I hope others can elablorate on this for you.

I'd say this - if you live near a BT exchange, seriously consider the up to 24 Mb/s DSL package.
when talking about living near a exchange. How close is near and how far is far?

50Mb is far less likely to suffer from oversubscription but far more likely to suffer one of a myriad of other problems. It's new technology that is still bedding in.
how do you find this info out about what node your on?
