Test Socket different than Master

Hello, my sync speeds over the last few days have been lower than expected after migrating to ADSL Max, and after checking my router with the test socket, the results are very different. While the master and other extensions get a sync of around 5600 during the day, through the test I can get full 8128 sync all day. Is this normal? Is there any way that I can fix the speeds of the extensions?

Its not unheard of and indicates an issue with your internal wiring. You might to check everythng is filtered and maybe try disconnecting everything and re-introduce equipment one by one to see if a particular device is causing an issue.
Also look at http://yarwell.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html to see what you can do yourself to potentially improve your installation.

Sorry, quick question: should the ring wire be removed from the master, or the extension the router is connected to?

Best remove it at both ends

Sorry, another question-will this interfere with ordinary telephone calls?

No

Thanks a lot!! Getting 8128 sync now on extension! I really owe you.

And Phil (Yarwell) for the blog about the ring wire

and to the BT guys who talked about it on here and prompted me to test it out semi-scientifically.

Possibly may prevent them from ringing, it depends upon your phones and filters. Test by ringing in on a mobile.
