24Mbps - Unlikely unless you live inside the exchange.

Some people who even actually live next to it will get 18+

We're talking about the sync speed of your modem which will ultimately govern your link speed to the Internet.

ADSL2+ can potentially deliver up to 24Mbps/1Mbps

One of the hyped up ones going around at the moment is an AnnexM varient which can see 24Mbps/3Mbps (upstream improved).

ADSL1 is only 8Mbps/1Mbps, which is still plenty fast enough for a home DSL connection for cruising the net on.
