Thanks very much for this!

BT Engineer has fixed everything. Seems as though the wiring wasn't uv protected and causing a lot of issues. Also the main box that everything was coming in to, well I mean there were all sorts of wires wedged in to places and just a mess!

Got a brand new all in one socket with adsl filters already fitted etc. Nice bit of kit! Line sync speed is at a comfortable 1.8mbps, still getting slow speeds but that should pick up after 3 days!

Very happy at the service I have to say and hopefully in the next 3 days everything will be working nicely! Thank-you for all the help in here, very much appreciated as I had no idea what I was doing and now have a better understanding if a fault develops in the future or with a friends house.

Glad it's sorted out. Stock advice now is to just leave it alone for a few days and it'll sort itself out.

Don't worry about the number of CRC errors , it's a bug, they all do that guv.
