I am still getting 0.2ish
same old same old
Really just want my money back so I can go elsewhere though plusnet seem happy to keep throwing routers and engineers at the problem that is never getting fixed.
I'm getting incredibly bored

the rest of the router stats will be things like snr margin and line attenuation which indicate the line's length and quality
the BTW speed tester would show your line's ip profile which would tell you if you have been capped to a really low speed.
if you could post what those things are it can assist in finding the cause of the problem (since the main line fault has apparently been cleared)

sorry to sound like a bad record but its important to establish if its the sync speed or the throughput(bandwidth) speed
and ideally the results from the BTW checker to show the line cap that's been imposed
its a damn site easier to suggest things to do then
also if its a connection problem its unlikely to clear by simply changing provider, what with the equipment not changing as its all owned by BTOR and just who you pay that changes ....

Done a BTW test results are
Download speed 0.14 mbps
Upload 0.18 mbps
ping latency 41.00 ms

to make it easy you can press ctl + a on the router page then right click over the highlighted area and select copy,
click reply and then click the quote box (its the speech bubble type icon above the various smilies)) and push ctl+v in the reply box (sorry if you already know this but some people don't)
just to see the line figures for your connection
there might be something telling in that and certainly it is something the support team would require to aid in sorting out the problem

those line figures indicate a fault with the wiring,
to eliminate possible home problem, do you have an alarm system that's connected to the phone line ? if yes does it show disconnected when your plugged into the test socket (behind the bottom half of the split face master phone socket)
if you have any extension points in the house, with the modem plugged into the test socket are you able to hear a dial tone at any of the extension points ?
if neither of those apply, do you hear any noise when performing the quiet line test (17070) ?
if not it would still indicate a fault but it might be a little harder to find

The bandwidth figures are the sync speeds - for the moment we need to just look at seeing if those can be improved.
If there is no significant improvement in the test socket then it looks like you are genuinely a long way from the exchange and you are very, very, very unlikely to do any better with a different ISP as they will all deliver the service using the same wires and the same equipment in the exchange.
Could you also go to http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/adslchecker.welcome and post the results that gives (remove your telephone number before posting) please.
Plusnet: might it be worth trying putting him on ADSL1? It such a line length that might be better.

the fact nothing is reporting as you would expect means a problem either with the router (unlikely as its been swapped) or the wiring between the router and the exchange

Chris has done a line check which showed 74.5 atten.. so its looking like an extremely long line.
I notice the lack of FEC's despite the amount of CRCs/HECs and ErrSecs. If that line constantly syncs dead at 512, I'd suspect its on max capped rate profile 500.
I agree with jelv, that line would be better on adsl1, which may give it a bit more speed.
However there doesnt look to be much spare SNRM.. and if that line flaps, it may well be better staying on capped rate.. because if DLM kicks in by the time it starts messing with interleaving and increasing the SNRm.. it could well end up with worse speed than it is now.

Sorry for the late reply no alarm connected to the phone line and no extension

I don't think that is possible.
Still waiting for a response from plusnet.
