Wireless routers on the whole generally slow down connections ethernet is faster as is a usb connection. Get in touch with your ISP and ask if you are getting the service you are paying for, they will run that or similar test a few times and accurately measure your connection speed, then if need be initially tirn up the gain on your line though the local digital exchange.

Yeah get it checked, Setanta. Irish ISP's are gangsters. We had to call UPC a dozen times before we got a consistent working service.

Yeah it will be, depends on how many windows you have running on the net through your browser, should only have one browser, open in one window, and no other programs accessing the net in the background to get anything like an accurate reading.

Exit your anti virus prog, any downloaders torrent programs etc, then try it.

Also different times of the day will produce different loads on your local exchange that will also affect your speed.

Stu 06-05-2010 11:35 PM

Some of you must be downloading the Avatar Blu Ray in 1080p or something.
