Trotting along nicely
MY 4G connection on Huawei E589 mifi device is a bit slow tonight, usually get 20mb down, 15mb upload. It blows my Karoo broadband connection out of the water.
About 13-14mbps from TalkTalk
Means I can upload pictures of watches quickly ....
in the country, swapped from BT to Orange and have had a speed increase to all of 2.3...

Not only in the country.I live 3 miles from Leeds city centre, 1.2 to 1.4 mb is on a good day.You forgot to mention the crap mobile signal as well, all providers have rubbish network signals where i am, 3g if yer lucky.
have you looked at binning karoo and getting surebroadband.net chap?

Sky is free, but I get 3 and it should be 20
We recently upgraded to BT fibre to the premises. I like this.

Welcome to Somerset
I'm not too happy about the slow upload speed!

Virgin graciously gives me 1.6mb download speed. And we live about 200 yards from the exchange. Costs us £28 a month. Am being ripped off but it's the price you pay for not being a townie.
Just been hooked up today by Bt Infinity 2. They promised 77mb/s but not getting anywhere near that. It seems to be all over the place 42 then 19 etc. I guess it's a bit like that at 1st? Anyone else found it unstable in the begining ?
Upgraded to BT Infinity1 now gone from 2.5 to 35 download on wifi on the same room as the router
Yes but you have sheep in the fields near you; the rest of us have to search for photos...
Please can anyone answer a b-band technical question for me - whilst bearing in mind Im not a very tech savvy person?
I am on BT infinity with a wired connection between my mac and the router. I get about 42 mbs down and 5 mbs up, which is absolutely fine. The connection is seemingly problem free.
However...
Everyone else in the house is connecting wirelessly (from PCs and Macs) and cannot seem to get above 10 mbs download, but worse, its a very intermittent connection with the downloads freezing occasionally for no apparent reason and seemingly unrelated to any activity on the wired connection.
Any ideas as to what is causing this mismatch? - and what I can do to improve the situation? (Ive not yet rung the BT Bangalore outfit)
A lot will depend on the router. It should be a new-ish wireless 'n' version and that should allow for much faster transfers than you seem to be getting. There may also be interference from any number of other devices. Wired is always much better than wireless.
As i Said earlier On Wifi but in same room as the router
Dare I ask why you want photos of sheep?
I live up on the moors in staffordshire and have recently upgraded to sky fibre. Currently getting 25mb down and 10mb up which I am very happy with
I have Virgin cable which runs into the house and connects to my office 15-20 metres away at the bottom of the garden via wi-fi. Although I have a reliable 100mbps in the house, I got 28 - 35mbps in the office until this week. I bought an external wi-fi antenna and mounted it on the office outside wall with an immediate improvement:
Here's details of the antenna if anyone is interested:

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Push BT to give you a homehub 4, it really sorted our wireless issues ( constant dropping, slow uploads etc), it was the best £6.95 P&p I've paid for :-)
To increase your Ping time, get your provider to turn off interleaving.in the country, swapped from BT to Orange and have had a speed increase to all of 2.3...

I'm also in the country and I get a dizzying
Coming from a Virgin 100Mb connection i do notice the difference, but not as much as you would think, on a day to day basis.

I was on super crap 1.5meg down 0.3 up down the phone line until a local chap has set up a 'radio broadband' network for the village....
Its great! £20 a month gets me:
Cheers..

Hamish,
Virgin essentially don't do ADSL broadband, they sub it out to other, smaller service providers who let Virgin label their service. If you have ADSL and not DSL (i.e. cable or fibre) then i would suggest you go elsewhere for your BBand as i can guarantee that you're not getting value for money.
7mb which is not too bad but frustratingly even though we are shown as having Fibre and even BT wholesale confirms our actual address is connected from the box as well as the exchange we are told by Sky and the BT Infinity checker that we can't have it for another 6 months or more! Grrrrr!
BT Infinity- not bad at all!
My plain old BT broadband is an utterly consistent 12 down and 1 up.
Virgin Cable:-
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
I get ~10 Mb/s download. Certainly fast enough to watch Netflix etc. on TV.
What do those far higher speeds others are getting mean in practice - is there any real benefit?
try to watch netflix on a PC at the same time. and do a skype call from other PC ;)
I've recently upgraded to BT Infinity. I have a wireless link to my laptop,rather than ethernet cable,but i'm happy with the significantly improved results.
Very jealous...on a good day I get 2.5 Mb/s! V. poor.Oh yes indeeeeedie!
Indeed. It must inhibit your search for chronoporn...

But I'm happy with mine (wifi 5Ghz and about 3 metres from the router):

I'm getting 36.4 down and 7.6 up which I'm happy with, but what I'm not getting is the ranking - everyone else here seems to see A- and faster than xx% ratings, and I don't for some reason. Is it because I'm using a Mac, or is there a setting somewhere I'm missing?
Chuck out the BT home hub and buy a decent router, I use a billion router which is fantastic but probably overkill. Google for the latest reviews and go from there.
this may help.
Try going into your router setup under wi fi settings and change your wi fi channel. it may be conflicting with someone next door.
if you are both on the same channels ie. 1 or 6 or 11 it will conflict.
so if you are on channel 1 change it to channel 6 or 11 and see if that helps.
when the routers are sent out they are all normally set to 1 or 6. you can get some software for free on the internet that shows all the routers and their respective channels in your area of your home, you will be surprised how many are on the same channel.
Give that a go and you should see an improvement.
