Because of my distance from the exchange our broadband is slow Quite a few people in this area have gone over to fixed wireless broadband with a little reflector on the roof I had hoped that as more people left B T my own signal would improve ,but this has not been the case in fact I think it has deteriorated

Hi,
BTw DATA speed tests in isolation are not overly useful - they only report what your line is doing, not what it might be capable of doing and if it is optimal. I suggest we need to cover some basics (as per the speed issues topic) please...
Broadband is not going to work well if the "phone" line is not working properly.
Please perform a quiet line test - dial 17070 select option 2 using a corded phone plugged into the test socket behind the face plate of the master socket. It should be silent. A noisy phone line (or no dial tone) will have a marked adverse impact on the performance of broadband.
If the line is noisy or there is no dial tone, then a PHONE LINE fault needs to be raised with your phone provider. If this is PlusNet, you can report a fault on line using the button below. From the Q&A list, choose the one which matches the problem, 'open' the 'section' and click the trouble-shooter link. NB: If you receive a failure message (rather than a log-in prompt) then log-in to the user portal in a different browser tab and attempt to use the trouble-shooter again.
What are the expectations for your line?
Please use the following links to check the services available and their estimated speeds. From the first link, please record and report back the distance from the exchange. The second link advises of which fibre services (if any) are available on your line and their anticipated speed.
How is your line performing?
Please post your router stats; for PN TG582n and 2704n routers use the buttons below, for other routers look at the Kitz link.
Also run a BT Wholesale speed test (ideally using an Ethernet wired PC with the WiFi turned off) then run the further diagnostics and post the results here. DO NOT REBOOT the router!
Also find your CURRENT SPEED (PlusNet line profile) from the PlusNet user portal - you will need to log in.
In another browser tab, login into the Plusnet user portal BEFORE clicking the fault & ticket links

Oh this is sad!! With the reported attenuation (length of line) I rather think you are doing VERY well with the 2.3mbps synch rate. Going by normal measures you are lucky to be getting anything at all; 1.6mbps SYNCH speed would be optimistic.
I note that the line is running at a SNRM of 3dB - if the line is dropping a lot, the stability might be improved, but that would be at the expense of speed.
In answer to your OP, it is not the number of people using the BT network which is the issue here, it is simply the distance from the exchange. Is fibre available?

Which Plusnet router?
The TG582n (not issued for a couple of years now) is pretty good at hanging on to a ropey ADSL line - though I'm sure that there will be others out there just as good.
