Help with master socket

Can anyone help?
stats are:
Downlink 9716kbps
Attenuation 33.0db
Noise Margin 6.4db

Uplink 1300kbps
Attenuation 15.1db
Noise Margin 6.5db

No errors reported

Tried the test socket behind the master and got an amazing 15mb+ speeds at 6.4db.
Unplugged the bell wire as mentioned here:
http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/multiuser/3605804-b...
and tried the master front plate again (not the test socket). I lost 1mb in speed and got 7497MB downlink.
Reinserted the bell wire and got 9437mb again.
Weird, not what I expected because removing the bell wire should have increased the speed since it apparently creates interference.
If im getting 15mb using the test socket, the problem must be the front plate where all my tel extensions are linking to. maybe the extensions are causing the interference.

Should I get an i-plate?
or one of those ADSL+Phone sockets?

Try again with everything unplugged from the extension socket and the ring wires disconnected at each socket, not just at the master.
What have you got plugged into the extension sockets and how many are therer?

Apart from the master in which a standard BT phone is plugged into, there are 3 other extensions.
1 hosts my sky box
1 host another phone
1 hosts a phone and another sky box

If the ring wire is disconnected from the master, is it still creating a circuit around the house?

Replacing the face plate on the Master with an ADSL face plate can I still use my router in another room?
It seems from other posts in this forum that only voice is passed through to the other extensions. Is this correct? I would prefer using my router in my bedroom where I have hardwired my PS3 for media sharing.

No. The whole point of the filtered faceplate is to isolate the ADSL at the master socket.

Is it possible to replace the faceplate with an ADSL one at the extension I need it at?

Ive already removed the ring wire at the master.

filtered faceplates go on the NTE5 master socket, that's the point of them - the ADSL stops there and doesn't wander off around your extensions.

You could have the master moved, or put the router at the master, or fit a filtered faceplate and run an ADSL-only extension to the router.

I use this Faceplate filter from ADSLNation: http://www.adslnation.com/products/xte2005.php

My BT Master Socket is in the loft so I've run a high quality RJ11 to my office where my router lives with separate extensions for my phones taken from the faceplate. Or there are both 'filtered' and 'unfiltered' IDC connections available if more suitable.

The adsl nation faceplate has both filtered and unfiltered connections for extensions so it is easy to run an extension purely for adsl as long as you get a second socket.

Just got the ADSLnation master plate. I unplugged all the phone extensions around the house to get a pure reading.
I then unplugged all the extensions behind the NTE5. plugged in only the BT incoming wire into the XTE-2005 using only A + B.
Plugged the router direct into the XTE-2005.
only getting 8896kb downlink, 32db attentuation and 6.3db SNR.

I dont understand.
with NTE5 and ringwire plugged in I get 9400kb downlink. ringwire unplugged 8700kb, XTE-2005 8900kb.
Test socket 15000kb.

plugged in only the BT incoming wire into the XTE-2005 using only A + B.

Hmmm, dosnt sound right
The incoming BT line should be left untouched and be connected to the A+B terminals on the back of the BT NTE.
The XTE 2005 plugs into the front of the BT NTE, replacing the old faceplate.
You should not be connecting the incoming pair directly tio the XTE 2005.
The A+B terminals on the XTE 2005 allow you to extend the unfiltered ADSL signal on you internal wiring if required
