Right, I tried out the test socket this evening on the BT master.
Definite difference.

Synch speed of 8096 suggests to me it's actually on ADSLMax up to 8meg, rather than ADSL2+ up to 16meg???
Noise margin is definitely better via the test socket.
I ran some speed tests (CF, DSLZone, Dan Elwell's BB Speed Tester), yet they only came out slightly higher than what I get via the extension socket (between 3 & 4mbps for each socket, but closer to 4 for the test socket).
