I get the following results from the BT Wholesale broadband checker:
For Telephone Number 01400xxxxxx on Exchange CRANWELL
Your exchange is ADSL enabled, and our initial test on your line indicates that your line should be able to have an ADSL broadband service that provides a fixed line speed up to 512Kbps. However, due to the length of your line, an engineer visit may be required, who will, where possible, supply the broadband service.
Our test also indicates that your line currently supports an estimated ADSL Max broadband line speed of 2Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 1Mbps and 3Mbps.
Other households the same distance from the same exchange have been receiving much faster speeds for years now, and its becoming increasing annoying only receiving 512Kbps download speed when I'm convinced I can get better. Hope you can help me.

Can you post the results of the tests listed in the "Speed faults - information needed to help diagnosis" thread -second thread in the list on this board.
Then we all might be in a better position to see whether your speed is bad due to your line simply being so very long - or maybe that there other issues/faults with your line. Without that info we have no hope of even begining to help.

You will need to ask to be moved to ADSL max. Note that your exchange isn't 21CN enabled so you will be stuck with ADSL1 but that will give you much higher speeds
Either raise a ticket. phone or wait for Digital Care Team member in the morning

Just ask to be upgraded to MaxDSL
It might be worth trying the test socket as well and reporting the stats again as your line will need all the help it can get
This explains about the test socket

I have attached the results from BT Broadband Performance Tester, does this mean that there is a problem with my line and i will never get the 2Mb I am supposed to recieve?

A DACS is essentially a line splitter. If you live in a rural location or there are too few lines from the closest exchange to your area then a DACS will be fitted.
And it will give you slow broadband

Not sure what's going on here to be honest. All the signs are saying that you've got an IPStream Max connection, but your sync is dead on at 576kb/s downstream and 288kb/s upstream. Given the amount of times this sync rate has been recorded, it would only be possible if you had a static 512k connection.
Adding to this is the fact that your line profile hasn't been updated since 2008.
I think trying an SNR reset would be worth a go just in case this kicks the necessary systems into life (we'll know that tomorrow if I do it today) and if not then we'll have to get a fault raised for you.
Please let us know if you're happy to go ahead with that and I'll get on it for you.

Downstream sync is up to 2336 and upstream to 448 That's exactly what I was hoping would happen.
Hope you're noticing the speed increase esberger2012.
