If it's another ISP using services from BT Wholesale you will face the same issues and will delay getting them fixed by moving.
If it's a LLU operator and the issue is the line between your house and the exchange you will face the same issues and will delay getting them fixed by moving.
The only way you can avoid the above is by moving to a service which is not delivered by the telephone line (e.g. a cable service from Virgin), and for that you don't need a MAC.

When I first joined Plusnet I was getting 2-3meg download speed. Which I thought was fantastic as I just moved from dial-up.
But, finally taking some notice of posting on the forum, I moved the router next to the first socket and ran an Ethernet cable to it. The speed then jumped up a bit. I then removed the bell wire and all the rest that wasn't required from the phone sockets and the speed jumped up again.
I now get 7.5-8meg.

You haven't mentioned whether you're wired or wireless?

1. Go to http://www.speedtester.bt.com/ and run this test:
This gives information which is NOT given by any other test.
2. Go to https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed and check your current line speed.
If you post the results of those we can advise further.

The other part of the jigsaw is from the Diagnostic tester on the first link posted by Jelv, That should give you two tables something like these…
Download speed achieved during the test was - 6.46 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 2 Mbps-7.15 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 7.27 Mbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 0.9Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 0.83 Mbps
… but your downstream IP profile (which I've marked in red) should be higher than mine.
What download speed and IP Profile does it give for you?

For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 4 Mbps-21 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 16.74 Mbps
2. Upstream Test: -provides background information.
Upload Speed
0.38 Mbps
0 Mbps 0.45 Mbps
Max Achievable Speed
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 0.38Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 0.45 Mbps
but why on speedtest.net doesnt show these kind of speeds makes you wonder

Which speedtest.net server are you using? I've just done the following test using the Namesco server in London…
… and the results tie up with those from my BT Performance Tester result.
