I was informed that I would average 13MB and not the 6MB I am currently averaging. So asked Samknows found my local exchange 950 meters away and then goes into ADSL, ADSL Max and ADSL2+ which my line supports. My router is some 2 inches from line socket!
So just need to clarify which of the 3 ADSL I am on?

Also check your Current Line speed Login required. This should match (or be greater than) your IP Profile.

You are on ADSL2+ and I see your estimate on the availability checker is between 11-15Mbps but what I don't get is that your attenuation is 40.5dB which would suggest a longer line and lower speed. Can you tell me if you're using any extension cables/sockets? Do you have a test socket you can plug into? Also, are you using the router we supplied?

It would appear that there is part of my ADSL master socket missing, that being the NTE5 faceplate.
Currently I am plug into the test socket, although this is where a BT engineer would test my line, and if you say I should be getting 11-15 MBs as oppossed to 7.59 current.
Some stats for you....

It sounds as though you either haven't got an NTE faceplate or you haven't found the master socket as you can't have a test socket without one

Yes that is where I plug my router from.
Have just done 5 speed tests over last hour so between 5 - 6pm and down is up 1.4 MB from yeaterday with a variation of 0.2 my upload is almost static at 0.355 with a 0.1 variation...
So if like other posts say, if I do not switch router off at night speed should gradually increase to correct level.....

Missed the stats
Anyway the good news is that they look good and you are on ADSL2+
The bad news is that your sync speed will not appreciably increase over 9871kbps as it already has a 3dB default noise margin which is the lowest setting
Your IP profile will be 8706kbps and therefor you should be getting speeds of about 8500kbps or thereabouts in the speed tests
Can you run the BT Speedtest and report back
