Attempt 4
You do NOTHING to any of those wires. The Orange and White stay exactly where they are and the faceplate plugs on to the front.
As for the resistor across the Green and Black - they are a second pair and unused by your installation. What value is the resistor? The only thoughts are that it was put in to simulate Out of Service or to kill noise on that line. Wait until your faceplate is installed and get your line stats and use Router Stats Lite to get a 24 hour plot of Atten and SNR, then remove the resistor and repeat. You will then have two sets of figures to compare.

Ok i fitted the new XTE-2005 faceplate and didn't have to do anything with the wires, just left them as they were.
LinkSys stats:
Down Up
DSL Noise Margin (0.1 dB): 68 170
DSL Attenuation (0.1 dB): 550 315
DSL Transmit Power (0.1 dB): 194 123
x10 ofcourse, wonder why LinkSys does it times ten?
Will see how it goes 
Thanks for your help.

Why Linksys choose to display values in cB (centiBels) I will never know.
What speeds are shown by the Linksys? and what hoes the TBB speedtest give?
Can you get RSL installed? and running?

Pretty sure those figures are x10 Yes, it says they are: (0.1 dB) You are approximately 3.95km from the exchange. Note that this is the straight line distance - the actual cable length will be longer! From your attenuation your cable length is about 4 km.
You are getting as good speeds as you can from your connection.
As you have no extensions, you will gain nowt by spending money on filtered faceplate, except cosmetically.

Lazy web interface, the numbers are stored internally as integers and the multiple by 0.1 is missing for the web display that is all.

So around 4.5mb is the best im ever gonna get ?
The connection drops now and again too which is very annoying as i work online.
Will i be able to get faster when they rollout BT Infinity at my exchange?
Thanks.

FTTC depend on your cable length from your cabinet (not like ADSL which is on length from exchange).

I suspect the 2nd picture shows a diode connected across the 2nd (spare) pair, I believe sometimes used to mark pairs which have been proved but not connected .
Why go to all that bother to tag a proved pair ???? Tag it with a tag, loop it out if you fancy.
It is odd though. I wonder if the OP might describe or photo the external feed to the property ?
