We were unable to identify any performance problem with your service at this time.
It is possible that any problem you are currently, or had previously experienced may have been caused by traffic congestion on the Internet or by the server you were accessing responding slowly.
If you continue to encounter a problem with a specific server, please contact the administrator of that server in the first instance.
And stats from my router:

With a downstream attenuation of 63dB I'd suspect you should be getting 1.5 to 2Mb download speed.
Also double check with neighbours to see what they are getting - it may just be a very long distance from the exchange on poor lines.

Need to find out what is 'expected' for your line. Put you phone number and post code in here - http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/adslchecker.php
Please describe how you are connecting to the phone line - router cable length - filters - extension or master socket - how any extensions are wired - are all phones on filters?

No extensions - master socket. Was filtered faceplate although as per Dom's suggestion directly into the test socket now.
Cable lengths are the default cables that come with the router.
Results from BTW
Down Rate / up rate / down range
Quote WBC ADSL 2+ Up to 1 -- 1 to 5 Available
ADSL Max Up to 0.5 -- 0.75 to 4 Available
WBC Fixed Rate 0.5 -- -- Available

thanks for your help

The reason I pointed you to the Kitz checker is that it proveds an estimate of your line length. This can be compared to your reported attenuation. If there is a significant difference, it could point to a line fault.
63dB suggests 4.6km.

I've had a look at your line I can't see anything that might be causing the low synchronisation speeds.
You mentioned that you have a filtered faceplate, if you remove the front cover from the Master Socket, is there a Test Socket behind it?

I removed the filtered faceplate and plugged the router into the micro filter provided and into the test socket. There is no improvement

Can you see what profile i'm currently on?
Fibre should be available at my cab at the end of the month - if i can at least game until then i would be happy. Could you get me on a gaming profile?
I'm hoping the measly 600kbps will be ok for gaming if my ping is like 13ms
Thanks
Reece

I think its best i get ahold of another router and test it with that, or should i just carry on and report the fault?
Will all this restarting and changing routers and in and out of the test socket affect the DLM that is most likely running on my line?
thanks

Would you be able to connect an alternative router today at all? You don't need to configure it, just connect it and reply to this post from your mobile and I'll check the connection rate for you?

If you can confirm i won't be charged i'll go ahead and log the fault.
What is the connection rate that you are expecting for my line?
thanks
