Don't think i can get anymore than 4.5mb with those stats, am i correct?
Yes, you'd already been told you were getting as good as you can get. You had best figures before you fitted filtered faceplate. Nowt BT can do to make it any better.

So the AdslNation XTE-2005 faceplate was a waste of money and actually made the speed worse. Unlucky.

Looking at old stats the noise margin is a little higher now and sync speed slightly lower.

So maybe the old DLM systems have imposed a 9dB target margin, or user was just unlucky with the last sync and resyncing now might get a better speed.

With RF there are so many uncertainties that the certainty sometimes stated is pushing reality to its edge.

Yes, it was probably a waste a money, but most likely made not a blind bit of difference. The change of speeds and NMs were likely to state of line at diff times and DLM reacting to OP reconnecting router a few times.

The effort and expense could have been avoided by connecting to the test socket as a first step, then.

You previously said that the connection "drops now and again" hopefully there may be some improvement in that regard now that you have fitted a filtered faceplate - it is possible that the micro filters that you were using before were not adequately filtering voice frequencies and that would occasionally cause the dsl to drop.

It has no place being there, end of.

To the OP, despite others saying it's not worth contacting your ISP, I reckon it's worth a punt, just to see if they can get to the bottom of the intermittent disconnections, and maybe, just maybe, there's a shorter E-side you could be on.

Would you remove that resistor or what ever it is - could be done as part of the investigations that you are suggesting below?

It looks more like a choke or a diode than a resistor but it should not be disconnected, except by Openreach.
