Worth checking this - although it probably won't shed any light in it - https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed
Are you connected to the router by wire or wireless

Re: D/load speed still wrong

It is just possible that your wireless signal is a bit corrupted - like someone else on the same band.
Is it possible to check when wired

Re: D/load speed still wrong

Netgear W/less signal is good, I don't think checking by connecting the ethernet cable direct is likely to make any difference.  Please see my earlier thread on 2/11/09 (download speed pathetic )

Re: D/load speed still wrong

Looking at your earlier thread - did you ever find out what crucified your speed.

Re: D/load speed still wrong

Unless you are seeing a very large number of errors on the line I have no idea what is causing it

Re: D/load speed still wrong

They use different speed test algorithms and in general the BT one is the more flakey
