Ok guys here goes..
After struggling with a poor set of ADSL line stats I sought to find a practical solution to improve my downstream noise margin (SNR), thusly improving my chances of getting a speed regrade. I tried every suggestion (here), and including those found via Google, and finally came to one which improved it by 3dB
You may be thinking "3dB... so what?" but for some like me it means the difference between breaking a restriction and getting better net speeds.
I followed the guide over at ADSLguides where it talks about how removing the 3 ring from the socket can essentially give you a nicer line with less interference. I took the plunge and proceeded to remove the 3 ring wire from my filtered master socket as per the guide and then logged back on to the modem through the configuration page.
This seemingly was all that was needed, as I went from 12dB to 15dB noise margin!! I urge anyone wanting to squeeze the last bit of signal out to try this!!!
