WHY IS MY SPEED SO SLOW

hello everybody hope someone can explain or even help me. I am with talk talk and before i took out the intenet i did a test from verious compa ies on line speed and was told the lowest i would get was 2.5mb i am not connected on fibre optics as it isnt available where i live but i have the talk talk plus package here is some info from my router

In reply to a post by naheed_akhtar:

i took out the intenet

I wondered why piratebay wasn't working

Have you tested the router direct into the test socket behind your BT socket faceplate?

For reference here's my router stats. I have higher attenuation (longer line probably) than you but much higher bandwidth. Your SNRM can be dropped from 12 to 6, but your stats seem to point to another issue that should be solved first:

i have router connected to master socket as far as i know and was acheieving this speed from the beginning had the internet for a month now. Do you mean remove the faceplate and then connect the router to master socket i have not tried this, i achieve this speed on wireless and wired connection. also according to internet checks i am 2.5 miles away from the exchange

yes, if you have an NTE5 master socket, remove the faceplate and plug direct into the test socket behind. This should rule out home wiring from your enquiries

master socket was upstaris i got a pic off the net as to how it should look and in the right hand corner there is a t but took off the faceplate and connected direct and it instantly went up from 1.2mb too 2..08mb but i have to put faceplate back on dont i, back to 1.2mb when master faceplate back on

You can keep it in the test socket if you don't need the extensions connected.

you mean leave the faceplate off i did want to have the router downstairs but guess i will leave it in the test socket would this just mean that the faceplate needs changing and coluld their ossibly be anway to get any faster internet. it is now hitting 2mb which is better than 1.2mb but it says i can achieve 2.5mb.

You have an internal cabling fault. Either repair it yourself with help from these boards or use a competent person with experience of telephone wiring.
If you pester your ISP for a repair it will cost you £130 minimum and you probably still won't get it repaired.

If things are better at the test socket then try http://www.thinkbroadband.com/faq/sections/radsl.htm...

The wire on pin 3 can introduce noise and slow you down just as youve seen. If that is too much, then an alternate that will cost £5 to £10 is to fit an i-plate http://www.thinkbroadband.com/videos/iplate-installa...
