Speeds stuck

My speeds seem to be stuck at 20Mb. Tried wired, wireless and homeplugs. All give me the same result. I tried restarting modem/router but no dice. Whats going on??  Cry

Re: Speeds stuck

Hi,
I've checked your connection and is syncing at over 60Mb/s, is it possible you could try a <a href="http://community.plus.net/library/broadband/fibre-help-how-to-set-up-a-pppoe-dialler-in-vistawindows-7/">PPPoE connection</a>?

Re: Speeds stuck

It all seems to be addressed in the link above, but just incase;
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences
    From the View menu, choose Network
    Choose Built-in Ethernet from the Show pop-up menu
    Click the PPPoE tab
    Select the checkbox for Connect using PPPoE
    Enter the Broadband Username and Password
    Click PPPoE options and tick the Connect automatically when needed checkbox
    Click Apply now
Let me know how you get on.
