If you have a good quality extension lead then there might be no difference in speed. If it's poor you might get good speed increase.

Mine went from 2.2mb to 6.5mb when connecting it directly.

How far was ** line?

It's many km between you and the exchange. A 10 metre cable isn't going to make the slightest difference.

The master socket usually only makes a difference as it cuts out any badly wired internal extension wiring when you remove the faceplate.
