Hi, there are quite a few things that could possibly slow your connection down, but I have a couple of questions firstly has it always been like this? have you tried a different router on the line, your wireless should be just as good as your ethernet at these speeds (unless the issue is with your wireless on either the computer or router, also what company are you with for your broadband?
I would try the following to get to the problem.
disconnect all equipment from the phone lines/extensions in the house, then open the master socket and plug the filter in there for testing (as said this will eliminate noise from the extension socket etc in your house)
Plug the router in and test here (also try an alternate router aswell if possible), if it is still slow then the problem will be most likely with the cable outside of your property, you could get this tested but it can be a pain to get them to test a line that is working, unless you can hear interfence/noie on the line?)
If the speed goes up then you need to narrow down the problem within the house.
There is a difference in speed between certain ISP but it depends where you live, i.e. sky and talktalk both have there own equipment installed in bt exchanges that allow them to provide alot higher speeds than bt do to your property, almost all other ISP provide there service using bt lines and equipment and therefore the difference wouldn't be noticable on the ame package, but like i said it depends where you live.
good luck and let us know how you get on.
Graham
