You have some noise pickup from your internal wiring. Disconnect the ring wire by following http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/socket.htm

If you are running your router on a plug in extension consider moving it to near the master socket instead.

That's a monstrously long line - most routers will not measure the attenuation beyond 63.5dB and with that getting anything over 1Mbps is a struggle.

On 72dB attenuation you are borderline unserviceable. If you were getting 1Mbps reliably on Virgin National ADSL in the past you were very lucky indeed or the line has recently deteriorated. If it was an old Virgin Media cable product then I'd suggest you go back to cable.

No cable round here (no pavements, no gas even) and the speed never stayed constant at around 1 Mbps but recently was relatively good, certainly at least 500 kbps. I had a Netgear router (which I assume was locked to Virgin) so the only thing to change is the router and provider. The first week wasn't too bad with Plusnet but the last fortnight, awful. For example, to download a 500 MB video now takes about 8 hours overnight.
