jilfer, tcom - I don't really want to get into a discussion about transmission line theory (or come across as too much of a geek!), but distance from the exchange does make a difference because more noise will be generated on the line and the speed will have to reduce to overcome these.
A poor quality line to the exchange can also cause poor internet speed, so you're right from that perspective that it's worth contacting Qtel about it.
aturdido - in apartment blocks particularly, some landlords will purchase 1 or 2 internet lines from Qtel, and then use a router to connect several residents to each line.
