Do you think it's worth me contacting talktalk and complaining my broadband is under performing when compared to the average rates?

i get around 6mb/s on talktalk and im less than 1mile from the exchange on an unlimited package.

If you're supposed to be getting more than 6Mbit/s in your plan, then yes. I lived 1.5-2 miles from the exchange and I was getting the proper 25Mbit/s as advertised.

I am stuck on a 1.5mb line that I have had for 10 years. It sad but I have had the 3g on my phone go just as fast on a few occasions.

Romania might have one of the shittiest politicians and most corrupt on the planet but we sure do have good internet speeds here

1st year of getting my own place, O2, 20mbps plan (with average of 5mbps, highly unstable with unlimited jitter!) just because the "unlimited" usage. However, it isn't, and the tenants and I received a few warning letters.
2nd year, my friends wanted SkyTV. So, 24mbps? or 20? plan, almost the same, except slightly higher speed with FKing speed cap when we are actually using it. Yet another advertised unlimited bullshit.
3rd year, Virgin 8mbps (because my building doesn't have fiber laid yet), and it sucks even worse... horrible capping, horrible latency, horrible speed...
After that, finally, my savior, BE Unlimited offers their service, truely unlimited, and holy the fastest speed you can get!

Sadly, when i was living in the UK, the average speed must have been 56 kbps.

That will happen in three-to-five years

And we're still stuck on 256K.....

And look in the US in comparison, like ISDN, it still does nothing.
