Okay if you upload speed as reported by the modem is 448 Kbps then still on the old ADSL based service and requesting an upgrade to WBC ADSL2+ will boost speeds.

Once we know the attenuation an estimate of what you might get can be given.

Hi MrSaffron, Does your reply mean that I should get in touch with Openreach or Bt, to do an upgrade to ADSL2+

If your attenuation figures show room for improvement likely then it would be a chase BT Retail situation as they are your provider

Hi MrSaffron, Just done a BT Broadband Speed Test on my main Computer ( Ethernet connection via Mains Electricity Wiring to my hub BT home hub 4 ).
Result :- BT Exchange to Home :- 8.13Mb
Home to Device :- Download 5.8MB, Upload :- 0.37Mb

I don't know if these figures are helpful.

Not particularly

The 8 figure suggests maybe a cap due to ADSL rather than ADSL2+

that shows you could get a 30% increases in speed if you had a better connection router to 'puter.
also indicates that even if line were faster you wouldn't see the benefits.

Hi ggremlin, thanks for the info, much appreciated.Would you recommend a better router to replace the BT home hub 4, any you could recommend ?????? What is BT home hub 5 like ????
Awaiting your Response, thanking you.

hub5's are fine, as are hh4. your most limiting factor is the mains networking.
