Pipex's check seems to be simply an ADSL availablity check...BT class ADSL as 'available' if you can get at least 512, so whilst this looks promising, I'm not counting my chickens just yet.
I shall contact them and ask for further clarification.

Try the test for yourself -
To find the distance you are from your BT exchange you need to have a BT phone active or a very near neighbour with one. From the BT phone dial 17070 then press option 3 (fast test) then press option 1 (fib a bit to say you are authorised) then press option 2 (ring back test). Then put the phone down. A few seconds later you will be called back with information including your distance from the exchange in kilometres.
