I've just done a speed test:
My router (Vigor2600VG) currently reports:
Up Speed Down Speed
192000 2656000
... this is towards the upper end of the range - "Down" has been down around 2000000 at times - but "Up" has been around double that
The BT Checker reports this for my number:
For Telephone Number 01452xxxxxx on Exchange GLOUCESTER
Your exchange is ADSL enabled, and our initial test on your line indicates that your line should be able to have an ADSL broadband service that provides a fixed line speed up to 2Mbps.
Our test also indicates that your line currently supports an estimated ADSL Max broadband line speed of 3Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 2Mbps and 4Mbps.
Our test also indicates that your line currently supports an estimated ADSL2+ broadband line speed of 3Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 2.5Mbps and 7.5Mbps. Our test also indicates that your line could support an estimated ADSL 2+ Annex-M broadband upstream line speed of 500Kbps and downstream line speed of 3Mbps; typically the downstream speed would range between 2.5Mbps and 7.5Mbps.
The actual stable line speed supportable will be determined during the first 10 days of use. This speed may change over time, to ensure line stability is maintained.
That all looks pretty vague suggesting it could 2-2.5Mbps for anything?

Can you post the full stats from your router - speeds, noise margin and attenuation

Can you plug the router into the test socket with no phones connected and report the stats again
Checking here indicates that you may be able to get more information if this is your router http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/frogstats.php#22
Do you have any idea why it is reporting WAN is PPPoE

My gut feeling is either that a filter has gone down or there is a wiring problem or the extension is duff
No you don't need to restart the router but moving it temporarily into the kitchen will be needed
Can you explain a bit more about your internal wiring as it is rather unusual to have the master socket in the kitchen. Can you see where the telephone wires come into the house and trace them to the first junction box or socket

Which bit of the statistics is odd? (Not that I'll understand it).

It might just be the fax machine causing the problem. If you disconnect that from the phone and resync the router what are the speeds

The router's now reporting as the attached - not much different?
EDIT - as I noted the up HAS been higher previously at times. Usually I find those two figures only change on the occasional restart. It's usually left on 24/7 (as is the computer)
EDIT - "resync"?

In fact there's very little difference between the second extension result and the direct connection looking at the Speedtest.net figures...
