The results from the speedtest look to be OK.
Are you trying to do the software download over wireless? And what operating system is on your PC?

Re: Connection Timing Out After Few Mins

You should look at your router stats and see how long the connection has been "up".  If your broadband connection is dropping-out frequently then the download may well time-out before the router can re-establish it.

Re: Connection Timing Out After Few Mins

Yes, but there are various points at which the connection could drop.  Your router should be able to tell you how long it has been powered-up and how long it is since it last re-established the internet connection.  That will tell you whether what is dropping is the broadband connection to your router or the connection between your router and your computer.

Hi seanwinf,
There are a few disconnections around the time of your first post, but since then it seems to have stabilised. What are you seeing at your end now?

Re: Connection Timing Out After Few Mins

From our line tests and connection logs we aren't seeing any issues with your connection at the moment that would result in these time outs.  You are connected stable at just over 4Mbps.
My suggestion would be to test your line with another machine if possible or test your current machine on another broadband connection to ensure the issue is not related to your computer.

Re: Connection Timing Out After Few Mins

Is it a wireless connection between your router and PC, and if so could it be that that's dropping?
