Can you try a wired test to confirm it is the wireless that is causing the issue.

Thankyou, but i cant easily test a wired connection without moving alot of things, as the main (and only) telephone socket comes into the front of our house in our bedroom, whee as out pc is in a back bedroom and my ps3 is downstairs.
Would it be advisable to update the firmware on my thomson router?? as its a year old.
Also i have a 5-6 year old netgear router, would it be worth me trying that instead??? would the speeds of that my comparable ?Huh
Thanks Mark

Definitely try the Netgear providing it is ADSL2 compatible and it probably is

Hi fergusont20,
Did you manage to try the Netgear router or a wired test.
Everything on your line appears to be fine after inspecting it.

Re: Download speed seems ok, but upload speed seems woeful

Hi
Unfortunantly i can only find my netgear router and not the power lead. and i cant try a wired test, as my very long ethernet cable is gone missing.
My Thomson router tg 585 v8 is omn firmware 8.2.7.8, is this the latest version?? if not how do i update it?Huh
Thanks again
