new router, very low speeds :(

[#1]

To be honest, gaming uses such a low amount of bandwidth, I wouldn't expect you to nice ping issues with a 1Mbps connection.
Glad you're latency is good though

[#2]

yeah it is good.
i think this case is one of those strange dsl cases that come up every now and then.
or windows has gone ultra wonky - this is the most likely scenario

[#3]

well the speed has got worse and I do not know where to start troubleshooting.
using the zyxel router and windows vista home premium

it is syncing on the router 8128/448

I am pulling my hair out at the moment.
exchange is green :

There are currently no known capacity problems on your exchange

Your High-speed Broadband Service

any ideas?

not sure if i can use my binatone usb modem with windows vista?
so that might be a problem.
thanks

[#5]

which is a pity.
well the speedtest says it is busy at present.
but downloads are looking better - getting upto 400Kb/s download speeds now.
last night  it was awful.
maybe because i updated mobo drivers this morning. (brand new mobo, with brand new nic, fitted that yesterday).
will try and get some proper speed testing done.
will update asap

now getting a 500 internal error from that bt speed test site.

latest from the bt speedtest site :

Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:  -provides background information.
    IP profile for your line is - 6500 kbps
    DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM)  8128 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 1130 kbps

it is as though something is sucking 80% of my bandwidth somewhere.
has anyone got any further ideas?

[#10]

I have turned off ipv6
I have turned off the zyxel router firewall
I have turned off windows defender
I have turned off windows firewall
and still slow connections.
downloading a 100Mb test file from an ftp server I was getting 25Kb/s.
downloaded ea stores download manager at 75Kb/s
where is the bandwidth?
I need some serious help

[#12]

just wondering on the plus net fault checker, do I need to leave my pc turned on or just my router?
as it pc needs to be turned on, will need to do this tonight.
thanks

[#13]

Hi Zippy,
You would only need to leave your router turned on.  We just need to be able to see your connection being online so that we can run various tests.

[#14]

thanks
will hopefully be able to do this tonight.
around 6pm to 7pm
thanks

I think you need to make sure your router is configured to accept ping from the net for this purpose.
