With that attenuation your speeds are low but not out of the way
However the checker indicates that your attenuation should be much lower. Your previous LLU results would confirm that
Can you connect the router to the test socket with a different filter and cable if possible and report the stats again
If there is no change then you would need to report a fault
Also can you check if there is any noise on the line when using the phone - dial 17070 option 2

Your connection at the moment is in ADSL2 mode (up to 12Meg) whereas with O2 LLU it was probably ADSL2+ ? (up to 24Meg)
As Oldjim has suggested you'll need to connect the router to the TEST socket inside the master socket if you have that NTE5 type and get a fresh set of line stats.
Using some of the line stats you posted MrSaffron's coolweb checker shows what your line could be capable of delivering when free of any faults or wiring issues either side of the master socket:-

Obviously it's best to get line stats with the PC connected by an ethernet cable to the router as it rules out any wireless connection issues.

Line stats are completely unaffected by using wireless so there is absolutely no need to switch to ethernet cable

(On master socket, brand new cable and filter) Speedtest.net and BT Wholesale both give 0.47 Mbps u/load, 0.35 Mbps d/load.
Router stats
Uptime: 0 days, 0:01:47
DSL Type: ITU-T G.992.3
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 444 / 574
Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [kB/kB]: 80.94 / 249.36
Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 12.8 / 0.0
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 34.5 / 57.5
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 21.4 / 6.5
(edited for the sake of brevity)
FEC Errors (Up/Down): 0 / 61,363
CRC Errors (Up/Down): 0 / 0
HEC Errors (Up/Down): 0 / 0
(BT Wholesale basic test 0.47 Mbps d/load 0.35 Mbps upload 35 ms ping)
BT Wholesale diagnostics test suggests 0.5 Mbps as max achievable speed
"Download speed achieved during the test was - 0.47 Mbps. For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.1 Mbps-0.5 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 0.5 Mbps"
Upload Speed 0.34 Mbps (0 Mbps-0.45 Mbps quoted max achievable speed)
"Upload speed achieved during the test was - 0.34Mbps Additional Information: Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is 0.45 Mbps"
Apologies for the repetition, not mine, I hasten to add.
My own Netgear router (with the Plusnet ADSL settings) delivers the following line stats;
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 487 kbps 444 kbps
Line Attenuation 59.0 db 33.4 db
Noise Margin 15.8 db 21.6 db
BT cabinet is in full view of house and has been worked on by BTOR very recently. Very noisy at the time they were working on it (wet at the time) though it didn't seem to trouble my then active O2 connection greatly, but equally quiet at the moment. Last time I mentioned noise on the line to BT (some while ago, years maybe) they actually said my broadband might well work OK even if the noise levels made it difficult for a normal phone call. As the Americans say, go figure. I am still being supplied by BT for my phone line till 13th December. If I have to raise a fault do I do it now or later after PN take over the line? (yes I know they're the same company).

Although I don''t understand why the two routers give different noise margins but this may indicate a duff router and possibly a banded profile
When you say master socket - is it the hidden socket under the removable lower section
