Turned out I am not in the cab near me and further away but the adjustment there wasnt enough so they then did some recabling outside the property, was here for about 2 and a half hours, by the time he finished it was 4.30 and normally speeds at that time are easily below 6mbit. Downloaded a test file at 950kB, have done some speed tests since then and they have all been above 800kB the last one 5 minutes ago at 970kB at 10pm amazing!!!.

All lag is gone in ssh all running smoothly, shaked his hand afterwards for a job well done. the traceroutes are still all over place but actual service is good so that is now irrelevant. New downstream powerlevel is -2. Web pages also are much more responsive and I have been using the leics proxies.
Can I have the engineer's name and number please...
