My dad uses the laptop so I cant use it
Okay, I'll try what you said in a few minutes, just gotta finish this last but very hard maths homework question >.<
It's in the other side of the garden 24 hours a day though, ive got an extension there which is my dads 'office'.
It's so much effort to plug it in, but!
My brother's pc has got a wireless adaptor on it. SO i'll just move my router to the maxter socket and see what internet speeds he's getting

Just read this thread, 12-17 sockets! your house must be massive or you have a phone socket addiction
To make sure that you definately have the master socket (you think in your mum n dads bedroom) you can look for where you overhead phone mast is and look which room the cable goes into.
It will be interesting to see how much your noise margins change (on the sky router stats page) when you plug straight into the test socket with the router. Your attenuation may also drop with that much cabling running round the house to all those sockets! could you post the stats page once you have it plugged into the test socket?
I'm very happy with my connection but i live a lot closer to the exchange than you

Well, turns out the socket in my dads room made no difference at all, it had the BT logo on it so I thought it was the master socket. I tried the socket downstairs next to the door, it has two cables coming out of it. But, when I do my internet is even slower on speedtest, getitng like 0.7mb/s comapred to the 1.7 id be getting before D: But the speed is still the same for the last two days, 1.5mb/s on the netgear router.

Where was the screenshot taken?
That looks much better, look at the higher noise margin...
Now you do need to call sky with it connected to that socket.

What phone socket was that in?
That is a much better connection, your SNR has majorly increased, if you leave it it should increase. Or you might have to ring sky and ask them to increase the speed.
