It all depends on what colour are connected to the incoming wire from the street

Sounds a bit confusing.

I have blue in A and white in B.

Having tested again I am not getting the drop in speed as before. When Sky talked me through this before I was getting the drop I stated before.

Is the bell wire just the Orange cable oin the internal wiring? As stated above, only the white and blue cables from the main BT cable are connected to the master socket.

There is only two wires connected to A and B because that is all BT use.

The ring wire is whatever is connected to pin 3. Hard to say much more without seeing pictures of the wiring, e.g take a few and put them on flickr

Reason for saying this, is I don't understand how you can be using the test socket with a ring wire connected, by definiiton if the master socket is first socket, then once the removeable faceplate has been removed there is no ring wire connected anyway.
