Assuming your attenuation is 40dB then your downstream throughput will not be more than the IP Profile of 6000Kbps - but a 4.5Mbps throughput is starting to look good

Yes i did thanks for that!
So hopefully my bt speed test throughput figure will increase tomorrow, if not would it be worth ringing my ISP to see if they know why my throughput isn't quite as high as it should be? (If it's not a problem at the exchange)

Fairly new build house at a guess. If so, the mystery of the non functioning master is no mystery. The electrician that doubtless wired the house had no idea which of the two cables coming in was live (usually no service when connected) So connected both to the faceplate knowing that would work when made live. Far from ideal, but then you wouldn't want me doing your electrics now would you ?

Haha!

Much better than before . Whilst i've been concentrating on this the last day, i may as well see if i can get it to go a little higher. Probably being greedy now aha.

You are not being greedy - you pay for a service and you are entitled to the best speeds and quality that is possible on your line

720 kb/s is around a full 8mbps sync

4.46 Mbps would be around 400 kb/s download NOT 4 mb/s ( think you have this confused)

You are confused! Do the maths! You have lost a factor of 10.

How am i confussed

8 Mbps is not 8 mb/s it's around 0.8 mb /s which is around 700 - 800 kb/s download in real world

Forget all these myriad speedtests! They are only confusing you.

Concentrate only on BT Speedtester & your router stats simultaneously for now and post all of Sync Speed, NM, IP Profile & Throughput together, as I keep instructing you,

Too early to call ISP as your line is still recovering from your noisy wiring (ring wire) and your socket may still be affecting tour speeds.

Ok will do that .

Eh? How do you make that out?

Removing all the abbreviations you are saying "8 Megabits per second is not 8 Megabits per second; it's around 0.8 Megabits per second" (and that's allowing for your lower case "m" meaning Mega and not milli). Utter twaddle!
