Have you tried pluggin your router into the test socket behind the BT master socket?

That is usually the best indication of speed that you are going to get

Thats about the best you can get then.

Normally the best speed is given a few days after your connection, ie the upload sometimes is assigned 416 up - depending what package you choose.

Did you expect a higher speed? or are just asking out of curiosity?

What package are you on?

If BT say 1mb, tbh you have done well. It all depends on distance / wiring etc. You could live 500 metres from an exchange but it takes 2 miles to get the cable to you.

Your master socket test is about the best test to try in all honesty, rules out an internal wiring problem, if using the test socket. (the one inside to the right of the master socket)

I would say that is good as it gets then in that case, unless your line conditions improve.

That pretty much sums all the connections up on Sky.
