So if I click on Ryde exchange and put a mark on Denistone East, near the top, which is about 2kms away. I see that the average speed is about 7Mbps which means you are doing pretty well. 20Mbps assumes you are fairly close to the exchange. I've seen 22Mbps but that was right next door to an exchange. Right now I get about 19.3Mbps but I'm 400m from my exchange.

That's about 6Mbps so not too bad.
