cheers daz, bt's actual site wont work for me when putting my number in which is rather strange!!!
I just tried this site:
http://www.dslzoneuk.net/maxspeed.php
Not getting the 8mb from BT that im signed up for so carried on in that web site to see what my line could handle by using this:
http://www.dslzoneuk.net/checker.php
It says i could handle 8mb and recommended talktalk adsl, is this wise?

Who told you you " would " get 4mb . Most providers have the get out clause of " up to " . I very much doubt any isp will guarantee a connection speed You on BT broadband ?? If your only getting 0.7mb thats appalling . I'd be one unhappy bunny too .
Don't think thats a very good one, did three tests on that and got lower results each time...

Using a Netgear router
bt advised from running tests it would be 4mb, wasnt paying £135 to get same s**t speed, just off phone to them and after telling me i wasnt a bt customer for 10 minutes they have advised line is in optimisation period so to call back in 10 days, on the old line it was the up to 8mb chat i got but when i asked what line could handle they confirmed up to 0.5mb!!! will see what the next 10 days holds, using a bt black homehub and currently on a wireless laptop connection, plugged it in via eithernet and it runs the same as wireless
When I ordered my broadband and my phone line from bt they said they did a test on the line and told me it was 5.2mb, I just done 3 seperate tests from 3 different sites and they all say around about 3mb!!
Was I being lied to?

Not necessarily lied to more like economical with the truth . I had bt years ago and they were a bag o' shite then , i wouldn't trust them one bit .
You might be told yes sir , you will get 4mb , 8mb etc ....by a customer service advisor over the phone , but you try and prove it when you realise your not getting the speeds they said you would .

Forget speed tests as they are not accurate.
Just get the stats for your line via the BT Homehub and that will tell you exactly what your line sync speed is.
There is a page within the router GUI that displays the line stats. Click the link below.

Alternatively, click the link below:

Click on Broadband Connection on the left of the main screen,choose DSL Connection and finally choose Details at the top right of the page.

That IP applies to the Bebox but it'll mean nothing to another router.
