Hovever, a couple of months later and my speed is less than 1mbs. At it's peak I have reached the heady heights of just over 2mbs. Quite a difference from what I was told to expect. I have used the BT ADSL checker and it indicates that I should be getting a much faster speed than what I have.
To be honest, I feel like I have been conned, if I knew as I was going to get such a poor speed I wouldn't have carried on with PN, as my research indicates that people around me are getting phenomenal speeds.
Could it be that something needs tweaking or am I doomed to forever suffer such slowness?

Can you check here by putting in only your post code http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/adslchecker.php
Can you post the stats from your router and the Current Line Speed from https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed
Just to add the information from the BT checker is rubbish - with an ADSL speed of 3.5Mbps there is no way at all you would get the downstream speeds between 5.5Mbps and 15Mbps on ADSL2+
I suggest you remove your telephone number from the image

The intersting thing is that current line speed test is from my old address? Very odd!

Can you post the stats from the router - note downstream attenuation should be about 16dB based on line length via road

The easy answer is you won't get much better speeds but it might be worth trying the test socket and see if the speed increases a bit

Right now you are on an 'upto 8Mb' connection, we know this because your router indicated your connected on a G992.3 connection.

The OP is on ADSL2+, G922.3 is ADSL2 which will sometimes be used if the router finds it to be more stable. I'd be interested to see if the attenuation changes when in the test socket, as the BT availability checker does seem to indicate much higher speeds.

Agreed, results from the router connected to the test socket are essential.

I've since binned the faceplate, as I have no extension wiring anyway so I see no reason not to keep my router connected at the optimal point.
