My broadband speed

I have just setup my broadband last night and the wifi is very slow. On the speed check I did it was coming at at under 1meg download speed and catch up on sky was taking ages to download tv program's. Is there anyway of improving this as when I signed up it promised more than that between 5-6.
Thanks

Re: My broadband speed

Hi Bendavis,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems with your connection. I've just taken a look at your line, it's quite a long line which is why your speeds are on the lower side. The speeds that you're getting are probably about right for the line length you have (see attached).
There may be a chance that you can get more out of your line. I'd try connecting to your Test Socket, I'd be happy to check your line again once you've done that to see if there is any marked improvement.

Re: My broadband speed

How do I test the test socket? And which one is the test socket?
Thanks

Access to the test socket is by way of removing the bottom section of the face plate which should be held in place by two screws.
