But I seem to have an upstream speed way faster than downstream
Anyone come across this before ?
ADSL
Type Interleave Path
Status SHOWTIME
Downstream Upstream
Data rate(Kbps) 192Kb 416Kb
Noise Margin 8 6
Output power(dBm) 119 135
Attenuation(dB) 83 31

The fact that you get any speed at all with an 83dB attenuation is nothing short of a miracle

For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 50-250 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :192 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 416 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 135 Kbps

You might be better off on a fixed speed connection if that's still available, does the line have any instability causing loss of sync now and then, mind you the noise margin of 8dB isn't that bad for such a large downstream attenuation.
As Oldjim stated > "The fact that you get any speed at all with an 83dB attenuation is nothing short of a miracle"

The connection is solid (no losses in sync)
I moved house recently. When I first moved in I was getting 350Kb downstream & 376Kb upstream.
I assumed it would settle down, but it's got worse (& seems to have settled as the current level).

I tried calling you but unfortunately you were unavailable.
The line looks stable enough tbh.
I tried looking into a fixed rate service for you but unfortunately the line is out of the limits.
I could try an ADSL2+ upgrade if you wish (it's designed to improve long lines).

I'm at work enjoying my 82,011 kb download speed
So as you can imagine, I'm very frustrated with my home 192Kb speed.
ADSL2+ upgrade sounds like a good idea to me (anything to squeeze a little bit extra out of the line).

Sorry about that.
What's your setup like from the master socket onwards?

I have a 5m telephone extension lead in the master socket. Then an ADSL filter. One telephone & the router. (that's the lot)

Also, are there any other sockets wired in but not in use?

Quote Try without the telephone extension lead and see if the stats then look better.
I'll give it a go - The thing is I have a NAS device & a printer hanging off the router & no mains socket near the telephone socket (hence the reason for using the extension in the first place)

No, that's the only socket.

I'll see how much faster it is (if at all) before I break the news to the wife about all the cables I need to attach to the skirting board

or is it the round wire like this ...? (usually white) (with solid copper wire not stranded))
Could you use a "mains extension lead" to power the router by the master socket?
and does it look like this?
