I'm really not seeing much of a way of a dramatic decrease in profile speed. OK, so it has dropped from 5000Kbps to 4000Kbps in the last 10 days, but that's not overly dramatic. I'd keep an eye on your synchronisation speeds and seeing if they seem to be on the downturn.
You're currently synchronising at 5856Kbps, which should result in a profile change to 5000Kbps in the next 3 days if you maintain those speeds.

I think I have been up to 5500 before, so was wondering if the gradual ( apparent) decline could be to do with anything, that I could look out for.
Thanks for advice

Yes, you were on a 5500Kbps back on the 15th. This downturn in speed could be caused by partially faulty filtering, additional noise on the line (which you can't really do anything about unfortunately).
I'd start with the standard checks of swapping filters, ensuring that you're connected to the master socket and that you have all of your telephone sockets filterewd with all other telephony devices detached. Then see if there is any change in synchronisation speed.

I'll try disconnecting the phone first. Any recommendation for first quality filters out there?

Generally filtered faceplates are the way forweards, but I don't know of any specific brands/manufacturers, but I'm sure someone on here will be able to help you out.

XF-1e ADSL microfilter.
All are very high quality.

Modem: Binatone ADSL500. Excuse my ignorance, but when you mention ethernet cable, I'm confused. I thought ehternet implied wireless. I have only the one computer When you mention faceplates do you mean for where the computer is located (upstairs) or on the main socket, where line comes in to house?
Quote from: James Are you using a modem or a router? If it's a router, the quality of ethernet cable is vastly superior to aluminium/copper extension cabling and would see considerably less signal loss.

When I say filtered faceplate, I mean a faceplate you can attach to your telephone socket instead of using a microfilter.

Do I presume the main one and not the wired extension to which the computer is attached? Sorry to be so dense.
Quote from: James Ethernet is actually a type of cable you can use to connect a router to your computer. If you're using a USB modem, this isn't applicable.

Would going over to a router improve matters come what may?

SNR Margin
29.8dB / 29.0dB
9.2dB / 25dB
Errored Seconds
0 / 0
42/2
Data rate
1152kbps / 288kbps
5920/448 kbps
The SNR ratio is vastly different from pre upgrade as are erroed seconds, Does Max work on reduced margins, and is the variation shown here outside the expected parameters and thus a pointer to a generally noisier line, so rendering any solution in my hands not on?

Quote from: PJ The target SNR for most MaxDSL lines in 6dB- this is intentional and MaxDSL is reliant on this in order to deliver the higher speeds.
In your case it appears that your target SNR is set to 9dB. If your connection proves to be stable over a period of time you could raise a ticket with PN to ask BT to lower this to 6dB.
The good news at the moment is that your sync rate seems to be back up to previous levels based on what has been said in this thread.
Have you considered trying a router as these are often better at holding the line than USB modems.
Using wireless and locating your router by the master socket (with a filtered faceplate) might also bring benefits.
Today the synch is still around 5820 + bit speeds are around 3750. How long needs to elapse before I ought to raise a ticket?
BTW I have found out that work has been going om at my exchange to enable Sky/Easinet and that was done on 29/8. Could that have an indirect effect on me?
Don't worry with what I read of Sky BB- no way, Jose!
