Some weeks ago I saved a link in my favourites and planned to try it out some time in the future..
I think the link came from here originally but a search on "broadband speed" didn't come up with anything relevant, anyway..
Tonight was the night I had a poke about and to my amazement it actually worked.
I logged into my router and the diagnostics page was showing 3300 ish kbps
To further confirm I was at the best speed, I rebooted it and it went down slightly to 3200 kbps.
Out came the snips and I went to work, first on the master socket disconnecting everything except wires 2 and 5..
Picked up the phone on that socket, yep, still working, all was well.
Upstairs to where all the extension lines spur off and I notice that BT's incoming cable (this is where it terminates into the house) is cut back and only 2 and 5 are connected, so I thought then this isn't going to produce any results.
However all the extension cables WERE wired with all cables (even though physically that only made and internal ring and didn't leave the house due to the incoming cable wiring)
So again I disconnected everything except cables 2 and 5 from the splitter box and separated all the cables up so nothing touched.
Back to the pc, reboot the router again and WOOT 5984 kbps download speed.
Now THAT I am chuffed with!
TRY IT.
