This afternoon I exposed the test socket, turned everything off at the fuse box except for the sockets that the router was plugged in, and booted it up.
Instead of 10191 in the upstairs front bedroom (my study), I got 11511 in the test socket in the hall. This is the best speed I've ever synch'd at in this house.
I then replaced the faceplate, plugged into the standard socket, rebooted and the sync dropped to around 10500.
Next, I removed the ring wire. Sync rose to around 106xx.
Turned all power back on, removed faceplate and connected to test socket. 114xx.
Reconnected faceplate and started to try the extensions around the house. Dining room - adjacent to hall where test socket is. 102xx.
Upstairs bedroom, 108xx.
Lounge (immediately behind TV, DVD, PVR and VCR) - currently 11303 down, 1091 up.
So, my test socket gives the best speed at (once all electrical items back on) 114xx, but my extensions (all fitted by original builders) give wildly varying results, with the lounge being only 200K behind the test socket. At that rate, it seems that there's little more I can do at my end, so I'm open to suggestions.
TIA,
SPD.
