I've done a speed test at Speedtest.net, maybe that could shed a bit of light on to the subject.
I'm also only about 100m from the exchange.

So that points to there being a problem then doesn't it because the speedtest.net result shows a third of that!?

Have you tried plugging your router into the 'TEST' socket, located behind the faceplate on your 'MASTER' phone socket (where the cable comes into your house) ?.

...... nope no different!
I'm just waiting for a speedtest from BT (1 hour per test, didn't save info from the last one) and see what my IP profile is reporting.

is that 7232 the same ?
Also is the router plugged into the front of the 'MASTER' socket, or is it in the 'TEST' socket INSIDE the MASTER socket housing (behind the screwed on white faceplate) ?

Download speedachieved during the test was - 5217 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :7424 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 6000 Kbps
My line is plugged into the TEST socket as suggested above.
The router configuration is showing a slight improvement in the downstream.

Wiring the laptop to the router has given a better result. Surprising though as there aren't any walls separating the router and the client (4m). Are TG585 v8 routers 802.11b/g/n?

While it is true that connecting by wireless may give slightly lower results doing download speed tests, your downloads are currently being limited by the 6000Kbps IP profile which is calculated from the bandwidth.
Based on your router stats, the bandwidth should be something like 8128Mbps but is being knocked down by those FEC errors.
So your objective now is to try and identify and eliminate any source of errors, such as electrical interference, and then hopefully the bandwidth should rise.
It is worth leaving the router continuously switched on for a minimum of 72 hours in the TEST socket, and then report back what the indicated bandwidth says, after the exchange has seen minimal disturbance on your line for a period of time.
