Will do some speed and ping tests tonight and post a comparison.

If you pm me or michaelmurfy we can kick off a line test and show the before & after

Can you do a test for non Telecom customers?

What is the modem they give you like? Does it have a strong signal strength?

WIFI strength, I have an XBox 360 in another room and with my current WIFI modem I get a weak signal so I am hoping the one telecom give out is better and can give me a better signal.

Hi, for gaming you are better off trying to run a cable.

My modem is downstairs so I can't run a cable to my Xbox, I rely on wifi. That's why I need a good strength.

DSL Downstream Rate: 11777 Kbps

Unlikely with an attenuation like that... Unless you've got really poor wiring but that doesn't bode well.

If you aren't in a rental place... Worth drilling a hole and running a bit of cable yourself, or getting the professionals in. If it's a rental ask the landlord really nicely :). All gaming really does benefit from having a wired connection, plus having interleaving turned off as long as you're close enough to the Cabinet/Exchange.

How do I do wiring myself?Is it possible to send VDSL through the wiring already in my house (Not rental) so that it can come out through any phone jack.

I've put up a blog article on setting up conditional DNS forwarding on this router. Maybe helpful for the Unblock-Us users out there.
