Slow connection but good signal- filter?

[almoststew1990]

My router used to be connected using adsl to the phoneline at the same time as the phone using one of those filters. I was getting 2mbps downloads (i.e. 20mbps connection as advertised). But upstairs I got poor signal so I moved the router.

I moved the router nearer to me and plugged it into a differnt phone socket (same line/number), but left the phone where it was. I took the filter with me as an adapter to get the adsl into the phone socket. Now I get good signal but can only download at about 200kbps. Will it be a dodget socket, or something fixable?

I'm using a BT Homehub 3.

I don't have a second filter. Just as I read your post the phone rang and I lost net connection lol. I only have one filter so for now the router is going back to the old spot with the phone. I think i'll invest in some homeplugs.

The house is old and was owned by a disabled bloke so he wanted a phone in each room and the extensions were probably installed in the early 80s and are pretty knackered looking so I'll give them a miss.
