So before i got vdsl a week ago these were my line stats:


I was told by many people including telecom to expect speeds of about 45mbits or even higher.

When i finally got on vdsl these have been my line stats:



They are rather disappointing after i was told what was to be expected. The chorus guy came in last week and installed a vdsl splitter. 

In the past week, I've been getting speeds of about 28mbps during the day and then it has dropped to 22mbps during the evening and night (i don't know why)

i wanted to know what is causing these slower than expected speeds so i followed the the only jackpoint in which the splitter is to see where its cable leads me. It went through an old storage cupboard and then up onto the roof. There is a junction box between the jackpoint and the place where the telephone cable comes in on the roof.

I discovered the wiring at this junction box is horrific. Its an old storage cupboard which is hardly ever opened..  I have attached images below of the wiring.

So basically this is the cable that goes comes down from the roof and into the junction box.



As the cable continues towards the junction box.


And the "WTF" wiring..?



Close up of the junction box. To the left where the cable continues out of the junction box, is the wire that goes to the first and only phone line socket in which there is now a filter.


The new socket with master splitter inside.


So basically the phone line wire comes from the roof down to the junction box and then to the phone socket.

Do you think this is the reason why my speeds are below expected?

Additionally, a 12 hour line test was ran on my line yesterday night. RESULTS:




WHAT DO YOU GUYS think? Could the junction box wiring be the cause? I have been told vdsl speeds can be affected due to bad wiring..

I have been told i am less than 200 meters away from the exchange also.

Cheers guys! :)
