Broadband/wiring query

A while back, with excited anticipation, I disconnected the bell wire at all boxes and stood back to see - no change in speed

A check today in the master socket produced 2560, 1850 on the faceplate socket. So, I checked an unused extension in a bedroom. NOISY! Aha! Disconnect it and.................... no change

All I have left is 2 non-noisy extensions. BUT there still is a second line BT installed from the pre-broadband days wired off inside the master box. However, even with that undone at the extension socket end..........................no change

Will it take a while for the speed to adjust to the changes? The changes plugging in and out of the master socket were instant.

I guess I should be grateful I still have the same speed as before the bell-wire caper? I note that my 'Interleaved path FEC correction' ('far-end indicator')?? has gone from 51 to 479 whatever that means.
