How many more years will I wait for "proper broadband"?

[imjolly]

sorry but when you say only one socket in use are there other extension sockets in your home?  is your master socket like this one   where the bottom half detaches?

if you tried quiet line and no hiss/crackle then should be ok

yea the master socket is the same as the one pictured i think, BT came and installed it. This one has ADSL - V1.0 writen on it I thnk the micro filter is built onto it:

Like I've said all the other phone sockets have been take out.

that filtered faceplate is great so no noise from internal wiring and no filters to change

check this post for ideas

Thank you guys for all your help.

I've given the wires around the router a little tidy (I must admit there was a little nest) and I've moved it away from the mains as far as it will go.

Thanks again

I put my home number into BT's web site as if i was a new custumer and this is what i got back:

A little bit of false advertising I would say.....

[imjolly]

has your connection improved after your housekeeping?  can you post the stats from your hub like you did before?

your connection speed has improved and your noise margin has come down which is good  connection time is 20hr+ so now a matter to see if you can hold connection without it resetting

connection still holding which is good - getting more stable.  just need to hang in there and 13 noise margin should drop with a corresponding increase in connection speed
