Ah, now this may actually be good news for you. BT are trialling FTTC (or "Fibre to the cabinet") which in effect means the critical distance becomes between you and your nearest cabinet rather than you and the exchange. If they have offered this to you then there is a good chance you are in one of the early areas to be done. Try contacting them using the details on the flyer....
