You are correct about Annex M, and ADSL2+ has a theoretical speed limit of 32/3.5meg without annex M. however, that's in basis impossible to obtain.

If you're looking to the future, start dreaming about VDSL. It has a theoretical bandwidth of 250m bidirectional, although you would probably only really be able to pull 100meg both ways in reality. Of course, you can't really find a DSLAM that can actually support that kind of speed, especially out in the more rural areas, but hey, a man can dream
VDSL has been deployed in multiple European Countries already, maybe we will see it here some day

Well you've got hope with line bonding...if I recall correctly at your loop length Sonic.net would be able to do 30/2 bonded DSL. So probably 25/5 bonded Annex M.

how would you know my loop length?

said by Fox McCloud :

not really very excited about regular VDSL, but I am about VDSL2...that said, I'm, by the road, about 4,500-5,000 feet from the DSLAM...and by tests done by Embarq, I'm supposedly at 7,000 something feet..meaning I wouldn't benefit from VDSL2 at all, as it would have already degraded to ADSL2+ performance.

Fox - don't think you are gonna see anything faster than you already have. You are on a dslam that doesn't support bonding.
