You are 1900 m from exchange in a straight line and about 3800 wire length, sounds about right to me

Ian

Sorry I dident know what attenuation meant, well apart from signal and transmission. But wirelength wise about 3800, yeah.

so I have 3800 wire length and a 3.1 Mbps line speed so I should get around 2.4 Mbps download speed (2400Kbps) but I don't I only get 290kbps and thats the problem for me.

You should see closer to 3.5 Mbps but your noise margin is very high and your output power is very low.

First thing to try is a different modem/router.

is there anything else because I dont have another modem/router, and im not forking out 20-30 quid on a decent one until I really need to . Can I do something about the noise margin side of things? And I can try a powerful adapter for the BT HomeHub 2

You could try plugging the router into the test socket behind the master.

I already have. I mentioned it in the main post and yes I do get faster speeds i get 290kbps (0.2Mbps) as if i had it pluged into the master i would get around 160 to 180 kbps speed (0.1 Mbps)

In reply to a post by BatBoy:

In particular - he needs to take the stats immediately after connecting in that setup.

Do you use a phone extension cable between the router and the phone socket?

No, you mentioned it in a rather confused post later on.

As Roberto says, you need to take the stats immediately after connecting to the test socket and post them again, if you would.

Then try a new router

[ed] try before you buy!
