My question is do I have to have the Max thingy as it seems erratic at best.
Stats are below but my actual download speed is 128kbps, by the way I'm technically stupid so any replies need to be in plain English.

You are better off on Max (once the profile issue is sorted out).
Can you run a BT speedtest: www.speedtester.bt.com and post the results. Also post what number it states under connection settings -> high speed broadband on the member centre page.

The high-speed broadband setting is here (you'll be prompted to login).

Done line fault and Openreach engineer has been out this morning, what a waste of time. He fitted a new socket, so far its made no difference but I know it takes a while so we'll see.
He said the new socket doesn't require a filter, is that right?
I only use the master socket and the only thing plugged in is a phone, no extensions as it's a wireless router so it's all plugged in to the master.
Thanks

If so they will look different and the smaller one is for the router and the other is a filtered socket for your phones.
They should be labelled probably ADSL and Phone.
You can plug the router directly into the ADSL socket without the white BT adapter.
It is going to take several days for yor IP profile to match your sync rate.
What does a new BT speedtest give - i.e. are you sycing at a higher rate?

A bit of good news from this end. You're now connecting with the exchange at ~1400Kbps. This will mean that once the BT system updates itself, which takes about 3 days, you should start seeing throughput speeds in the region of 1Mbps (roughly 250 KB/Sec).
So, fingers crossed, you should see a considerable improvement in 2-3 days time.

Does it mean I'm connected to the exchange at 1376?

If you have a look at my forum signature, there's a guide about speed troubleshooting which might help a bit.

The connection rate is your synchronisation speed. If you want me to explain further, drop me a PM and I'm happy to give you a ring.

What this probably means is that something is happening to cause your equipment to briefly reconnect with the exchange at a low speed. This is often poor quality filters or internal wiring problems. I would strongly suggest that you try replacing your microfilter and also to ensure that you are connecting your router into a filter and then directly into the master socket.
