Yeah, Speedtest results don't come close to telling the whole story.

Actually quite impressed with this

its a white battery back up that is connected to the mains(for charging) and to the modem.

Difference being the other guy has real fibre optic. neonplanet40 does not have fibre optic but more a hybrid sort of connection. where he still uses DSL (VDSL2). and he has a filtered faceplate. that's it. I have one here for my adsl2 so its not fttc specific either

Yeah, Speedtest results don't come close to telling the whole story.

pingtest.net does though

Nope, an incredibly short burst packet loss test and a few pings to one server still doesn't.

Ok so this is my ****ty broadband atm. I'm at the furthest end of the exchange - 4 miles (http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/SWTDU) but apparently, there's something closer for fibre (as mentioned by locals with fibre). I'm getting Sky Fibre September 3rd, with an "estimate" speed of 40Mb/s down. Is there anything I need to know, or purchase before switching which will result in a better connection? (databox?)

Not really, Openreach should do anything necessary to improve line quality e.g. disconnecting unneeded extension wiring, installing filters, etc.
