 Time for another update.
I’ve managed to find my way a bit further up the TS food chain. It has now been suggested that the problem is contention as I was an early subscriber on my local exchange [I got connected within 3 weeks of the exchange going DSL live] I was not fighting for bandwidth.
I did not accept this answer stating that notwithstanding contention it should not mean I get 1Mbps when I pay for 3Mbps or that downgrading to 1 or 2Mbps was a solution because the contention is worse.
The upshot is TS agreed to push Eircon to check the DSL switches etc., and connection to my home. Eircon are as usual dragging their feet but I do get regular email reassurances that BT have not forgotten me.
