Well heres the results of the change.

The equipment arrived as promised. Came with 2 filter and a g modem/router. Disconnected inside of house wiring at the input to the house. With the filter and one fitted the speed achieved was a 14.5. Went and purchased some more filters for inside house (double filtered sky box) and reconnected house wiring. Consistant speed of 10. I still have to sort out the rats nest of house wiring, but the results of tonights speedtest head to head with VM 20Mb cable is :-

Ã‚Â£37 VM 20Mb-------3
Ã‚Â£10 O2 16Mb-------10.9 (1.4 km from exchange!!!)

Going to continue the head to head over the next couple on months to get a consistant view before binning VW.

Only problem is when attempting to download using Iplayer , IP address is seen as not being in UK. O2 super tech support, I button to press and 1 ring till it was answered diagnosed as a newely registered address that was still in process of being notified as being a uk number.

So far all is good, lets see if it continues.
