If you have a test socket within your BT master socket plug your router in there and get the stats again. If it shows a dramatic difference you probably have an internal wiring problem (which are usually straightforward to fix).

I currently only have one socket which is the master. I thought the electrition had wired this directly to the grey service wire from outside but on further inspection I see it does have a face plate which I have removed and pluged my hub directly into the underneath test socket. Master socket is similar to RobertoS first pic link. I did not turn my router off for any length of time but will give that a go and see if there is any difference. Though without the reboot stats read via test socket Noise margin (Down/Up)9.5 dB / 23.0 dBLine attenuation (Down/Up)36.0 dB / 19.5 dBOutput power (Down/Up)19.8 dBm / 12.3 dBm but download speed was rated as 8.1meg. Rechecked on TB speedtester and guess what, 2.8 meg speed. The electritian has only one blue and one white wire wired to my test socket of the multiple that spew from my grey main line. Thanks for the help everyone. Will follow all the advice and post as the info comes through.

Actually I think it was openreach that but in my main solo socket and the electrician is yet to wire up the rest.

Do you mean the download connection speed showed 8128kbps?

If so, then there is probably a wiring problem, and maybe an unlucky low speed connection last time as well.

Were there any wires attached to the faceplate when you removed it?

Is the grey box outside like the one in the second link, or much smaller, more like a socket size?

Don't worry about the actual speed test speeds. They take a few days to rise when the connection speed has done. See my IP Profile page for an explanation and a table.

There was one blue wire attached to the outer socket. This blue wire comes from a white coated group of wires installed by the electrician and goes to another room or box in the roof to feed throughout the house. Of course none of these have any plates so am assuming that this wire is not actually active. There is no grey box. The pole is on the road right outside our lane enterance. There appears to be a small grey/silver box at the top of the pole. Our reinforced grey line is wired into this box on the pole and travels down the pole, down our lane (200m) and directly into the house. The cream plate on the wall has Openreach BT logo and one socket. Taking off the face there is the test/primary socket underneath and this socket has a blue and white wire attached which is from the group of wires taken directly from the 200m grey line from the pole. I did disconect my hub for and turn of the router for half an hour and retested. Below are the results.

Downloaded RouterStats Lite but there is no setup for BT home hub v 2. Not sure if I should just use the BT home Hub v 1 or if this will a) not work or b) give incorrect stats? Does anyone know if this program will work with a version 2 home hub and if so what router should it be placed on in setup?

Those syncs are the best you can get from standard ADSL. What has changed since the last time you got the stats?

Sorry john2007 I'm not exactly sure what you mean. But if your refering to the first set of router Stats I posted today then the difference is I plugged my hub directly into the test socket under the face place socket of my solitary connection point.. Also I've disconected the panasonice phone base/reciever that sits beside my home hub (as I only have the one socket thats the only place it can be for now.) That reminds me that I need to plug it back in! Will do so and recheck router stats again and post them.

I didn't phrase it very well.

The first stats you posted were 3776/448
The second were 8128/448

The second set of stats is much better. If you identify what kit varied between those stats that will show the kit which is causing the problem.
