Had another look at the cable coming into the house, i.e the BT line from the street, ive got the following colours and in brackets ive put the connectors that i have assigned.
White (5)
Green (4)
Black (2)
Orange (1)
Have I connected these correctly?
No orange /white is normally the line going to 2 and 5 on a line jack or the screw terminals / idc on an nte5 White (5)
Green (4)
Black (2)

Yep, as others have said, that doesn't seem the right configuration. Mind you, BB will work down just one leg sometimes!
And over a short circuit but both conditions slow it down plus if you report a fault the test system will not see a socket on the end which could result in a visit charge to correct the dodgy connections .Not unless you have extension sockets, AFAIK, they come off separately from the master socket. I only have a single, master, socket (for broadband) so it doesn't bother me!

White to terminal 2. Orange to terminal 5.
Or the other way round, either will work.
Currently I haveOr the other way round, either will work.
White (5)

So just the orange that needs changing, and then bin the rest?
I'm only using the socket as a glorified way of extending the cable so that it goes round to the back of the house.
I guess an alternative solution would be to join the wires using jelly crimps, and put the socket back on as a dummy (its on show)?

Thanks for all the help gents, think i'm there (maybe)
Decided to crimp the incoming BT line with the external extension cable (just the white and orange), without changing anything at the other end all seems to work, getting 40mg download, 15 upload.
Line still drops out, but i'm thinking thats a issue with BT, judging by other threads discussing the quality of the service from BT.
If the new 'master' socket isn't a master, would it work? I'm just not sure whether it is or not. Its a BT socket, Openreach Mk 3

That's a ssfp nte5a so it's fine .Decided to crimp the incoming BT line with the external extension cable (just the white and orange), without changing anything at the other end all seems to work, getting 40mg download, 15 upload.
