Edit to add detail about noise margin
Just looked at my router stats and noise margin is jumping between 6.1 and 6.7 so on the basis of what has been said previously and what I've read its no wonder I cant get a decent speed.
Anything I can do further to get this to stabilise?

Your service is working to design.
As per link:speed if your sync speed drops, your IP Profile will.
We cannot raise a fault based on your IP Profile dropping because of an increase level on noise being present on your line, causing your sync and IP Profile to drop. It is how IPStream Max is designed to work.
Please read the article I've posted above.

There is always a variation: yesterday I saw it as low as 7db and as high as 12db

Thanks for the replies all and my frustration is most definitely not directed at PN as you all have been really helpful

The figure is the Signal to Noise Ratio Margin - as Jelv has pointed out it will vary throughout the day.
It will generally be at its lowest in the evening peak when people are at home with TVs and other electrical appliances running and street lights are on etc. In other words, there's more electrical noise around in the evening that will be picked up by your phone line hence lowering the Signal to Noise Ratio. (That's the reason disconnecting the ring wire helps - it stops it acting as an aerial picking up electrical noise on your line thus giving you a higher SNR margin.)
Have a look at this post and the one immediately following by Barry Zubel. They may help explain things.
Edit:
Quote I thought the lower the better
Sort of!!
If you're line as a high SNR margin there's more room for the equipment to play with before the floor of 6dB is reached. This post may help explain!

In fact, with your line, turning it off may make matters worse!

Should be appalling.
My brain often works quicker than I can type.

Just checked with the BT tester and my profile has raised back to 1500 Kbps and I get throughput of 1397 Kbps

Any further suggestions?
Here is my wiring config at present (BT wall socket > lead to surge protector > Microfilter plugged into surge > router fixed to DMT and with MTU of 1458 > ehternet to PC)
Should I change this config?
