Speed halved
@firkin reading between the lines your arrangement could be like mine of several years ago. That was when I was on ADSL I'm on cable now.
I have my desktop in the office in the dormer at the top of the house and the phone socket near the front door two floors down. The router modem was on an extension phone socket in the office. This really killed my speeds.
The solution was to ditch the phone wiring and the bellwires in the 80s setup and put the modem router by the front door. Phones are modern DECT cordless and the connection to the office is by homeplugs. We use WIFI for tablets and smartphones. Result then instant increase from 2Mbps to 6Mbps. Now I'm getting 27Mbps on FTTC with the same internal wiring although I had a new mk 3 FTTC socket fitted.
In fact I still have an extension wired to the office in case I want to use the fax capability of my printer but no t generally used
Edit\ forgot the sky box and media centre also connected via homeplugs in a three way arrangement

Quote from: Chris Once you've had chance to move the router to the master socket let us know on here and I'll run a line test.
Hi Chris
I know It's taken me some time to buy and install the T-P mains connectors but I had a recent speed problem and decided to fit them in the hope that it will help my speeds.
I now have my speeds back to around the 3mbps, You asked me to contact you and that you may be able to get me 4mbps.
Would you give it a try for me please...thanks?
Taken today
Taken before I put in the T-P Link
Did you make the changes around 6.30pm yesterday?
There was a burst of disconnections between around 2 and 6.30pm yesterday but the line has been stable since then.
I'm just running a line test on this now.

That should be done in a few hours. I note you're also on 448k upstream, so once this is stable, we'll uncap that for you.
Hi Chris
Everything looked like it was sorted but my speeds have dropped once more, is it possible to check out my connection to see if my profile has changed like the last time please?
