Another update, stretched the cable from downstairs and ran into another problem----where it connects into the house, the connections are old and corroded so right now temporarily, have a direct connection to cable. Not as good as downstairs as I am running 10 meters of telephone cable and an extension, but still much much better nonetheless.

This after about 15 minutes and I am in the 2mb unlimited plan and 3 mb max in my area--so I am sort of happy. To compare, this was earlier today also after around 15 minutes
