Interweb woes

Hi all,

I've just had ADSL set up at the new house, but unfortunately it isn't working very well. It takes a long time to sync (up to 10 minutes), and when it does it only syncs at 160kbs (when it's meant to be around 6mb). I've tried the test socket with no other devices attached to no avail, also with a replacement microfilter. I'm going to borrow an ADSL modem to try when I get home to eliminate the router as a problem.
My ISP (Vispa) have logged a fault with BT who state there isn't a problem at their end. They've offered to put in an engineer call in but obv I'll get charged for this if it's my problem and not theirs. Can anyone suggest anything else to try before I resort to this?

Cheers,

Brigs
