Thanks for the comprehensive summary, and I'm delighted that it's going well.

ITV F1 website in seconds (try that at 130 kbps).

I can imagine

raised with Virgin which they responded to on Saturday afternoon, it appears that both Belkins were soooooooooo unstable that they had fried the IP profile.

Never really been a fan of them myself. 
I must admit I saw a post on another forum that I sometimes read, where someone with a long line had asked about a recommendation of either the Belkin -vs- Netgear on a long line.  Because I dont read that forum on a daily basis it was about a week later that I saw it and responded, but it was a bit late as she replied she'd gone with the Belkin after what someone else had said further up.
I was like going "oh noooooooo" to myself.
Unfortunately the connection now seems to have gone further downhill since using the Belkin, and you cant even get proper linestats out of some of their newer models, which makes diagnostics exceedingly hard. :/

constant connection at 1856kbps with no drops. ../snip/..
the line is currently being retrained, IP profile was set at 1500 kbps this evening,

Excellent result

I got the linksys from PC World, manager there (mac user) swears by them. My belkin does give line stats, but just can't cope over the 5.5km distance on the line it seems. By all means, anyone can try them, just keep the receipt handy... Or buy the router I did and save some heartache. (I dare not write my true feelings about the Belkins, they're American and we have really evil libel laws.)

Finally was able to get SP3. Had taken my other computer 7 hours to get it on old connection.

1500, not bad for a 512k line.
