Thanks for the replies.

Done it with RJ11 extension cable in the end, as modem is cheap USB speedtouch one. No drop off in speed still running around 60KB/s (490 ish Kb/s), which isn't bad as it was 500 kb/s when connected direct into master socket with 2m cable.

Got to laugh though. My neighbour had the Tesco broadband as birthday present from is son who works in IT. I would have thought he would have looked in the BT extension socket wiring, as it needs a total rewire IMO (the sockets are here, there and everywhere) and got him one with a free wireless modem router package.
