However we're currently connecting at 21 (down from 22.4 in the last few days). While this speed is more than acceptable compared to the 2-3mb we had before fibre, I'd like to maximise the potential if possible.
Existing hardware setup is BT Openreach ECI modem (in master socket - we don't have any extension sockets) with a TP-LINK TD-W8980 router. Anything I can do/change to eke out a tad more speed?
Thanks.

Also - one thing I noticed - when we had fibre installed, the open reach engineer never changed our socket in any way, just left on the old Solwise Adsl splitter I'd bought from Amazon a few years ago http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003H6GUNA/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=increasebroadba...
Would upgrading to a proper Openreach Mk3 VDSL faceplate make a difference - and is this something the engineer should have done in the first place?
Thanks.

Quote from: BHLC Thanks for that, I shall give it a go. I wondered if cable changes etc would make a difference.

I don't have any extension sockets either but after installing an Openreach VDSL faceplate my sync speed jumped from ~22Mbps to 26-28Mpbs. So it's worth trying, there's plenty for sale on ebay.
