Not too bad, just high latency.
This is the DSL at my parents house:
And while tethered to my phone instead:
It's sad the state of broadband in rural areas these days...
Not trying to make fun or anything...but did i just read "56k dialup"
?! On an actual landline?! Through a modem?! WOW Come on, you are the US! I thought you had fiber at every street corner in the most remote town in the desert. Or at least a satellite link or something else.

Since my Exchange has poor traffic control, my speeds vary extensively...but this week, its just having a laugh. My exchange is about 30 meters away from me too.
Using a London Server:
Using a more local Norwich Server:
Nothing like being kicked off Valve servers because your latency is too high is there. If I log on to a Lotus server, my ping goes over 600ms.

A while back I threatened to leave for a better deal so they also give me discounts on my bill
Here is the breakdown.

Monthly bill is usually around £25-£30
Ohhhhh dont join talk talk, we are with them and so are loads of people I know, you will lose connection frequently, they will not sort it out, even when its basic, and charge you the earth before refusing your MAC. They are awful.

And this is also a message to ANYONE ON TALKTALK

How can you get 0ms Ping? Unless you are pinging yourself, which will still be above 0. Wouldn't it be <1ms?

Upgrade to fiber
I have had their 38Mb service since February 2011 and haven't had a disconnect for over a year
My DL rate was top notch too! always at 37.xMb. I have since upgraded to their 76Mb service!
It's the same with all companies, I have a good service, you have a shitty one, there is no consistency.
I don't know of one ISP in the UK who doesn't have problems
