You mentioned plugging in the sky box causes the Internet to die - that suggests that you are plugging it either directly into the telephone socket or into a faulty ADSL filter.
Expanding this thought - can you make sure you remove all other equipment from the internal telephone wiring - e.g. phones, sky boxes, burglar alarms. Are you then able to plug your modem into an ADSL socket plugged into teh master BT socket? Try re-running the test.
For even better results andif you feel comfortable with doing it - carefully remove the front plate of the master socket and plug the modem directly into the socket inside - try re-running the test.
These will start to rule out internal wiring, micro-filters, other equipment but to be honest the distance you are away from the exchange may be prohibitive - doesn't entire;y explain why you used to & your neighbour appear to get better speeds.
Out of interest did you run speedtest before when all was apparently running faster.
May also be worth checking out the forums on Thinkbroadband.com which may be a bit more ADSL centric then this one.
