I am now connect at between 4.2 and 4.8 generally but still think I could get more, the problem I have is that they are telling me that it is "well within limits for my service" and so if an engineer comes out and finds nothing they will charge me £144 +vat.
How likely are BT to charge for this? it is well below the "upto" 24mb but is connected and is stable.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

And here are my router stats - you may notice that it says that the mode I am using is ADSL2 - it jumps between ADSL2 and ADSL2+ depending on time of day, sometimes in the morning it will connect using ADSL2+ but at night it is always ADSL2.

With a 40dB attenuation the maximum speed checkers give your line length at 2.9km and a approximation sync rate of 9024kbps.
Have you read http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/socket.htm especially about removing the ring wire?

Where is the best/cheapest place to get hold of an I-Plate? I have seen that they are about £10 on ebay.
Thanks
Chris

BT will only terminate 2 wires in the master socket and if it's a NTE5 type you should not be able to see these wires. More information http://www.telephonesuk.co.uk/wiring_info.htm

At the moment you will see that I am plugged into the test socket as requested by CS and I haven't put it back as yet.
Yes you are right it looks as though only two wires are connected.

My only suggestion at this point is to try another modem/router to see if this sync at a higher speed.

Now I connect at 6.2!!
Time will tell how it goes but that is better.
I did have a Draytek 2820 - how mad is that the draytek cost £180 - the netgear was free from Sky otherwise about £40.
