Well, I'm 2.90km from the exchange (straight line distance), but the distance along the wire is 4.9 (as BT once told me).
Especially in sparsely populated rural areas, the line can wander all over the place from subscriber to subscriber.
For example, mine hugs the river bank for 1.5km, serving about a dozen houses, then breaks away over about 2.5km to a couple of farmhouses, then back over about 1km to the river again (2.9km upriver, but total about 5km).
So your memory may be OK! <note Must ask Wayne about his memory /note>
