I've noticed that I am syncing at 2880 kbps. I am supposed to have an 8mb connection, is that speed rubbish? If so, anything I can do to improve it? Would plugging the ADSL router into the BT Master Socket make much difference? It's currently plugged into an extension.
 
No, you're supposed to have an up to 8Mbps connection. Whether it's bad or not depends on how long your line is, the quality of it, noise picked up on its way to you etc - that's something you can determine from your SNR margin and attenuation (which your modem should give).

It's always worth trying the master socket (with no extensions, phones or filters).
