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).
Yes, I realised this, but I'm still confused as to where I got the 5.5km from.
Especially in sparsely populated rural areas, the line can wander all over the place from subscriber to subscriber.
