In the UK the speed limit comes into force as soon as you pass the speed limit sign. As such the distance is zero as you should have slowed down to the posted speed limit before passing the sign.

Can you begin accelerating as soon as you can see a sign increasing the speed limit?
The increased speed limit goes into effect AT the speed limit sign, not at any point before that. While you're not likely to get cited for accelerating at a reasonable point before you actually get to the sign, you're still bound by the prior speed limit until you actually reach that sign.
How do you calculate exact speed?
You can calculate a speed by dividing a distance by the time it takes to cover that distance. If you want the instantaneous speed (for situations of variable speed), you need to calculate the distance and time for a fairly short time interval (ideally, the limit, when the time approaches zero).

What are advisory speed limit signs?
Basically, an advisory speed limit sign is posted when there is an area of roadway where a hazard could occur. Example; a highway has a speed limit of 45mph. A curve that has a bridge directly on the other side may have a spped limit advisory of 35 mph. This limit is not, as some beleive, the maximum safe limit, but is the speed which gives the driver greatest chance of avoiding a problem if one occured with minimal impact on the traffic flow. These signs are not enforced as a speed limit sign, however, any time a driver is going too fast for conditions is illegal, regardless of what the speed limit sign or advisory exhibits.
