Next door to the exchange but very slow broadband

Question

Hello, like the post title says I live 20 seconds walk from the local exchange yet I am now getting very slow broadband speeds (around 1Mbps downstream).  This has not always been the case, I was getting about 12-14 about a couple of months ago.  I have over the last two months been getting a lot of dropped connections.  Broadband was not used a lot over the summer but have now got around to investigating and so far seen the following information.  From what I have read the noise margin seems to be very high, does this need to be reset by a mod?  Any help with this would be very much appreciated.
Quiet line check, seemed ok to me.

Answer 1

Have now moved the router onto the master socket.
Re-did the quiet test and now no noise on the line using any of the ADSl filters I have.
Have also unplugged the phone so now only connection is the router.
Here are the latest numbers after moving the router.  Should I now wait for3 days and see if the speed picks up or should I try and contact a mod?
