Very slow broadband speeds

Speeds are very slow at present and the family are struggling to use devices on the wifi and I'm really starting to think the broadband isn't fit for purpose.
The Internet and wifi lights are constantly flashing on the router and trying to watch stuff on my laptop/phone etc has constant buffering..any help would be appreciated.
I've taken my phone out of the micro filter and just have the router going into that at present.

Re: Very slow broadband speeds

It is a little of what is required.
A "sticky" is a thread that is always at the top of a forum. The one referred to is this one
http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,143835.0.html
You need to read it and open all the links. Do the tests and cut and paste ALL  the results (delete router serial numbers phone numbers or anything you mkight think will identify you)
What speed were you getting ?- best ever speed?  maybe you are just expecting too much from your connection ( how many devices at a time?)
Without all the stats we cant tell what you should expect.  Is there a way you could upgrade - have you checked what services your exchange can provide - adsl : adsl2 : adsl2+: fibre.
Genarally the more effort you put in and the more information you provide will lead to more informed answers. Wink
