plusnet said i could not move my fiber connection so had to go to adsl as no spare fiber lines new place also was on a fiber line when i moved in and not used for 2 months
had my line moved and my adsl did not work, plusnet sent a bt enginner to tell me my new place was still connected to a fiber connection not an adsl? and not been used for 2 months? so adsl would not connect, he switched me back onto a adsl line and checked my internal conection and line , done speed tests and so on
now i can get 0.25-0.4Mbps down and 0.32-0.35Mbps up! on direct cat5e link surely thats not right im sure i was quoted 2-4Mbps? no other equipment on phone line and never has been, feels stupid slow before my old place had around 3.5Mbps on avrage form the same exchange and cabinet before i swithed to fiber!
cant go back to a fiber conection as when i re contacted plusnet the system is showing no spare conections and would not submit an order? bt engineer informed me there was 2 spare as my old line is spare and the orignal line for my new property in the same cabinet is spare! oh well
either i need swap to fiber or get this adsl fixed if i cant have fiber
ps. please please fix the over loud bad music when on hold its geting to be a joke! i want to spoon my ear drums out with a blunt spoon after listening to it for a half hour a few times now!

Do you have a master socket with a removable lower section
If you have please remove the lower part then check that all other phone points in the property are dead
Then try the router in the test socket behind it via a filter and report the stats -It would also be worth checking for noise on the line by dialling 17070 option 2

Quote from: cedlor I would keep trying PN for fibre - it takes time for the free connections to show as available on their system and I dont think they can be reserved.

You will note that the attenuation has dropped and the speed increased indicating that your internal wiring is mucking things up
Is the line quiet and are all the other sockets dead

It is still useful to know and in this case quotes an estimated speed which gives something to aim for.
@thepurseys - if the front plate is still off the socket can you get a clear picture of the front and back so we can see the wiring.
Does the socket have any matkings on it Openreach MK3 or anything.?
How long since the adsl went live?

@cedlor
Estimated line speeds are often totally inaccurate - what we needed and got are the speeds, noise margin and attenuation as that is specific to the line
