Okey doke, just a thought ...

Did EE provide a modem/router you might try and glean stats from ?

Yes, but I binned it

Done some more digging, looks like it is an ECI cabinet and for those at 1km would downgrade estimate to 20 to 25 Mbps

With the speed test the suggestion is that the sync speed is around 14.8 to 15 Mbps so might be a little more to be gained somewhere but not a lot.

That was foolhardy.

So, nothing I can do to increase my speed then?

Not without seeing stats .... or maybe replacing the VDSL modem with something that will achieve a better sync rate. Those Openreach modems are a little �old school� these days.

Ok, just purchased a TD-W9970 to run in modem mode. Will let you know when it arrives and we'll see if I can get some stats for you guys.

1. Check that speeds are not improved when using the test socket, reason being some homes have extensions people forget about
2. If using a flat profile cable with RJ11 plugs then a twisted pair cable (round profile) might help to stop some noise creeping in locally e.g. https://amzn.to/2RXWPt1
3. If you've been switching off/on a lot i.e. a few times a day then you might have triggered DLM that will slow you done for stability and if you leave alone and line behaves you might see speeds increase after some weeks/months

NOTE: I have two lines perhaps 100m longer, but with a better cabinet (Huawei) but on one I can only get 17 Mbps, the other is at the higher end of the range at 27 Mbps.
