To avoid any confusion I am on the 1 router in the hall which is connected to the test socket, but it still brings be back to the original thread title. Restricted to less than 2mb and no one knows why? It has been like this for a week now apart from that incident Friday night when the profile dropped, but all's perfect now apart from the speed which won't go higher than 1.5mb

OK so the thing to do is when you do a speed test for throughput, check the line stats
If its contention down to EE then our speedtest with its two download tests is more likely to show it, i.e. slow tbbx1 and faster httpx6 when the IP profile is the limiting factor the two figures should be pretty close.
Have you looked to see if Sky or TalkTalk LLU services are available on the exchange? The congestion may if that is the problem may EE based, or down to it being an IPStream Max exchange and moving to LLU would solve it.
Seeing what others on the same exchange get at peak times is a good idea.

Ouch bad congestion
See what neighbours get too. If no llu a change of ISP may still help but you need to see which work well for others.
This assumes the line remains stable

This is a small village, I dare say I am one of a few on EE, a wifi scan reveals BT Hubs everywhere

I suspect the second router for the TV is connected to the phone socket on the faceplate. This is filtered for a phone only and is only working for ADSL because you have a short line to the exchange, hence the high attenuation and slow speed in your earlier post. No way, unless the filter is faulty. There is no broadband signal on a filtered phone socket - it would make the phone unusable.

Well I have to disagree, no filter is perfect and if there is a strong ADSL signal ( as in the OP's case) some will get through. There have been other examples on this forum where a filtered connection gives a working but very poor connection.
edit - sorry Mr Saffron, this reply was intended for Robertos!

Faulty, or at least cheapo below spec, filters.

Thanks for that, seems my fastest operator is BT, closely followed by Sky, the others have no tests which was as I thought which tells me BT and Sky are likely to be the most congested if everyone is using them
