ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 3406 kbps 576 kbps (max service)
Line Attenuation 62.0 db 41.7 db (ouch!)
Noise Margin 6.9 db 7.5 db

No idea how far I am from exchange. Quite a way judging from the Line Attenuation and low downstream speed!

25/09/06: After reading other posts and advice on this forum, I'm going to buy a faceplate for the master socket so that I don't need microfilters on my three extensions. I believe they're causing the line attentuation. More info once it arrives and has been fitted!

03/10/06: After fitting a new faceplate, the new figures are:

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 4238 kbps 615 kbps
Line Attenuation 61.5 db 40.9 db
Noise Margin 7.1 db 7.8 db

So a slight improvement, but not fantastic.
