Perhaps I should not be posting just yet but my connection is a stable 1.8mb download with a ping at about 50, my line went live last Friday 30/11 but is alot slower than the 7.5 +/- 1 promised when I purchased my package and I cannot see that it will get any faster after the weekend which will be 10 days.
I have tried varies sockets in my home inc the master with no speed difference.
Please help
Graham

Matt, I hope this gives you the sync info you need as I'm not sure how to check it.
Thanks

A few points
The speed from the master socket is lower because it was synched in the dark - any future things should be done during daylight hours if at all possible
The default noise margin is 12dB presumably because of problems on the line
Even allowing for the high default noise margin your speeds are a bit low for your attenuation
I suspect, as ReedRichards is suggesting indirectly, that your internal wiring is mucking things up.
Note to avoid the risk of the automatic systems seeing more instability on the line you should always disconnect from the line using the connect/disconnect opytion on your router then leave it a few minutes before disconnecting the router from the telephone line or creating a resync event

Quote from: Oldjim I suspect, as ReedRichards is suggesting indirectly, that your internal wiring is mucking things up.
I'm not so much suggesting this indirectly as making sure you run the test that should eliminate or substantiate this possibility. If your phone extensions are wired correctly then they should all be wired into the faceplate of your master socket so they should all be isolated when you remove the faceplate. So if you connect to the test socket behind the facepalte and get a better downstream sync rate then we know that something inside your house is causing your problem. Then we can track it down and fix it.

These are the results of the socket under the plate of the master socket and the wires for the rest of the house run from here.
Glad of any help

Clearly your internal wiring has been screwing something up unless or additionally you has something connected without a filter such as a Sky box
When you removed the front plate how many wires were connected to it

To be clear only wires blue/white and white/blue should be connected to 2 and 5
Although it doesn't say so I also wrap a bit of insulating tape around the bare ends of the wires you have disconnected to avoid any possibility of a short circuit
It should only be necessary to remove the orange wires from the master faceplate although if, when testing from another socket, you still have a lower sync speed you can also remove them from the other sockets
Once you have done all this and we are happy with the results then you should ask Plusnet to instigate a retrain which will give you significantly increased speed and also reset the speed fault level below which you can raise a problem with BT Openreach via Plusnet

I have disconnected the orange/white wires on the master, bedroom and living room socket's, the results are better.
Living room results (which is my main position for the router)
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 448 / 3.296
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 30,0 / 47,0
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 22,0 / 15,8
Master socket (with face plate back in place)
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 448 / 3.712
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 30,0 / 46,5
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 22,0 / 15,3
Thanks for your help and please advise
