I did make changes on the phone wire, and suddenly speed is better.

Download speedachieved during the test was - 45.9 Mbps
IP Profile for your line is - 47.43 Mbps
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 20 Mbps

Now I think I suspect returning line wire to another point, but I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong.

1. I've opened small box fixed to my houses' outside wall.
My port is no.1. I've noticed that the blue pair of wires had about 0.5cm of wire without boot so I clipped them to be shorted and fit perfectly under fixing screw washer.

2. I have two sockets at home. First is original BT socket with one port only going to living room where phone is connected.
Second is newly installed socket by another make in utility room where I have all servers and networking equipment including VDSL modem. This one has built in filter.

The cable arrangement was:
- BT phone wire cable terminate in box outside
- CAT5e cable goes into utility room and connects to back of socket
- Face plate of the socket has a pair of orange wires going back to outside wall which are bridged with wire going to living room, where phone was connected over another standalone filter
- I've unplugged orange wire

If this is potential reason, can this be done better?

3. Above didn't matter but DLM did it's magic and after reconnection new speed appeared?

BT wire box
Overview

That block terminal is ancient and although your screws look ok, you can see corrosion on the end of the wire for pair 2. It should really be replaced with a BT66.

As for your pair, I cannot understand why it is being fed with an cat5 cable, and probably one that is meant for internal use. There should be a standard BT dropwire connected to this, not cat 5 cable.

Also the orange pair on that cat 5 cable is connected to the brown down lead. Clearly something funny going on here.

Hi,
It's what I had at the time of install. The CAT5e cable I've used is a good quality branded one.

I'll look into changing terminal, although my neighbour is also connected to it so I have to ask if he doesn't mind. BTOR engineer wasn't bothered with it at all.

That is an openreach distribution point and is not for you to be changing. I would strongly advise against it.

You shouldn't even be running your own cables into it. Not sure why the engineer would even let you do this to be honest.

I don't want to disconnect the setup again, if I'd remove faceplate modem will lose connection.

That sounds like it's wired wrong.

Good luck with wiring up the new faceplate...

Hi All,
So I've played a bit with my wire/cable setup as new BT socket didn't arrive.

First off I've removed CAT5e cable from BT terminal and connected BT modem directly via short cable to my port. This didn't give any speed gain, so I'm presuming CAT5e cabling isn't any issue.

Second, I've retested second line connected to face place via A B port and that is causing line to drop speed to ~8Mbps. Extension via Port A B to phone connection won't work without standalone filter, so I'm presuming this DSL extension. Ports 2 3 and 4 5 give dead line on the phone.
Socket I'm using can be seen at: http://sobol.org/shared/FTTC/Socket/

One interesting I've noticed is that the BT terminal outside my house is actually used for 3 other properties. Four lines, mine is shortest. They've in direction away from cabinet, yet BT speed estimate via Broandband checker for those properties is 55Mbit/s, so another 7Mbit faster then what I get :/

I've fitted MK2 socket and run phone extension on NTE5 faceplate in pins 2 and 5.
The extended phone socket now works without a filter for a phone.
While broadband sync is at it's best ( IP Profile for your line is - 47.43 Mbps ) on master socket.

Thank you again for all the advices.
