slow broadband connection

Ever since my phone and broadband were fixed last week the broadband connection is poor. Sometimes it won't open pages and its gone from 15mbs to 9mbs. When the engineer left it was still 15mbs but since then its got slower.
Can a staff member please look at this or should I open a ticket in support. Thanks.

Re: slow broadband connection

Connection via ethernet or wireless? If wireless sounds like an interference issue.
Those speed drops still shouldn't affect pages loading.

Re: slow broadband connection

How can I disable WiFi when I use it for my tablet and kindle. I don't think that's the answer. Thanks.

Re: slow broadband connection

Your speed profile was not aligned your sync rate so I've changed this for you, this will take effect in the next 10-15 minutes.
Let us know how you get on.

Re: slow broadband connection

PeterLoftus,  I now see what you mean and I should have said that my computer has no wifi on it and that why its connected by ethernet.  Its fixed now so thanks for your input as it all helps me to understand things a bit more. Smiley
