Will move to WPA at the weekend then, but that is not my issue here

Have you tried direct to the master socket with no microfilter (although the phones wont work)

Your up SN is pretty low which will be limiting the up bandwidth....down looks fine though


So how do I fix it?

Thanks
If you have eliminated all your stuff (wiring, filters, hub, extns, phones), then its for your ISP to get BT to fix it


PC->ethernet->HH->ADSL Filter->Socket

My ISP is BT
Have you disconnected ALL you phone extns at the master socket, and plugged the router into master socket.  IMPORTANT!

Router filter master socket a bit quicker

1568 down
256 up

So what does removing the cover actually do?

Still a lot down from 2800/448

It won't fit - the router doesn't use a phone jack

potentiall removes some/all of your internal extension wiring

Wondering if that may creep up now, as the profile has slowly been dragging it down for stability.

That said, neither of the SNRs look that great.

All installed by BT as well - should I rewire the extension?

No, play a wait and see game for about 2-4hrs, see if the speed retrains upwards.

Once we know if thats the root cause, then we can look at fixes :)

Also, whether you put the old extn back, or rewire, leave the ringer (pin 3, usually orange) off, unless you have old phones that really need it. It acts as an antenna, and lowers SNR.  Most people get a good jump in SNR (with a resultant speed hike on adaptive products) with the ringer disconnected.  In effect, this is pretty much all the i-plate does.

As an aside, but related to one of Martin Imber's comments, BT supplied and fitted extension phone sockets are guaranteed for 1yr, then become the responsibility of the subscriber.

(This is only for premises fitted with NTE5A or NTE5B termination points - older style master/secondaries don't have a defined network termination, so BT cover all)

Only 2 wires for the extension, what should or could I test with a multimeter?

Those 2 wires should not touch each other or anything else.  Good place to start if it is proven the extn is at fault is the socket itself - look for signs of dampness (particularly if in window (always seem to have lots of sockets fitted in window), or other damp places - kitchen etc). The sockets cannot be dried.
