You do realise you shouldn't be touching those wires as they are BT property and if you get any issues in future BT could charge you. I know you can say that they would never know but you have also discussed it on a public forum. Anything before the master socket is BTs.

"Yes bare wires from the router."

What the hell are you doing?!

Also the speed bump was entirely coincidence, it is likely BT resolved the issue or that you messing with the wiring fixed something.

No such thing as a modem resetting everything perfectly.

Your old stats has no spare noise margin, hence it would have been impossible to jump speeds without a change to the line somehow ie fault fix.

I personally think when you connect these "bare wires" you had not solidly connected one of the pairs. That would half the speed.

after original connection with choc block

Oh dear, it would seem we are 'At Home to Mr.Bodge'.

standard ADSL RJ11 to RJ11 (with the RJ11 chopped off), and the bare wires connected via a choice block

glad you are all happy.

this work was done to rule out any internal wiring issues and once completed

routers connected back to master sockets and speed has improved, the only evidence I have that after connection of the 2wire, things improved.

either BT fixed things at that time, just like BT didn't do anything on the 19 May 2016, 1.00-1.30pm, when all this started happening we will never know.

again I don't really care, what fixed it, but if I'd never got a 2wire for £10, I would still be arguing wit BT and Eclipse about the speed issues.

Thanks for your help.

Einstein wasn't correct about everything.

Seems to have done dome good!

I've been off for a few days so missed your report earlier in the week. Stick with the 2700 and reboot it in a week or so ... early morning around 6AM you may get even better!
