If you stick your number in the sky checker on http://www.sky.com/quickbuy/new?view=personalise (make sure your not logged in already) and click on "Check availability" on the right hand side under Superfast Sky Broadband & Talk this should hopefully give you a more comprehensive estimate.
I suspect your line may be capable of more than 40Mbps but the package sky are selling you is limited to 40Mbps, (if this is the case) unless your line is actually on the fringe of supporting 40Mbps, an optimisation exercise is not really required.

It keeps telling me that I'm already on sky (I'm not logged on). My neighbour gets "Estimated access line speed: 40.0-40.0 Mbps".
But regardless of that your suspicion is right that it's limited by Sky as I also had an option to get the "pro" package which gave me 53 mbps or so.

Ah, it mustn't really matter whether your logged in or not, thought the check availability disappeared when you already had a product.
Yeh, the pro product is the 80/20 service, so optimisations will only help matters if you ever decide to upgrade, unless there are existing underlying factors to a reduced speed service but probably unlikely.

Okay I understand. Still it would be nice to get rid of those dangling microfilters.

My Mk2 faceplates arrived,
...
might try one of them on my long established 70Mbps home line to see if it has any impact. You have two (or more) lines?

If you fit the interstitial VDSL filter plate, you no longer need dangly filters elsewhere.

I have 2 fttc lines from different providers, was doing various tests between them. Probably will let one lapse soon though.

Just to confirm - I did in fact get two microfilters with the hub.
|
|
|
|
Faceplate arrived and Sky internet activated (well it was switched on yesterday but I waited on advice given here). Installed the faceplate and am receiving the following:
Modem Status Connected
Traffic Type:PTM
Line Rate - Upstream (Kbps):9999
Line Rate - Downstream (Kbps):39998
No idea if the microfilters would have fared worse, but I'm more than happy with those numbers!
Thanks all for the help - I'm a bit addicted now and so will think about adding a voiceline extension to the master socket!
