BT HomeHub

[fido]

2.0 has been absolute 'mare to get working .. constantly drops off to 'upgrade' without any warning whatsover .. however it seem alot faster than the old router it has replaced.

i'm getting download speed = 4900 Kbps and upload speed = 330 Kbps using the linky below - should i be getting more than this?

There's a ton of factors to determine your upload/download speed - unrelated to your hub.

But if it's any consolation, I have a 2,912k download and 376k upload speed

I think this hub is pretty good, im currently getting 6328/396 kbps

Broadband speed is dependent on line quality and contention, so the only way to really compare ISPs is with someone in the same street at the same time of day.

I have been with AOL for years (for a number of thoise I got Broadband for free) and when the free service stopped in the Autumn last year I wet to the monthly no-committement version from AOL. Mainly because I keep getting tempted by the Home Hub.

For some reason my laptop keeps losing the wireless connection, which on about 50% of occasions is due to the router losing the broadband connection and on the other 50% is the wireless bit of the connection going.

So still tempted by the homehub. Having access to my eighbours wireless setup I can run speed checkers at virtually the same time, his invariably is bettert han mine.

Connect your router into the socket behind the faceplate on the NTE5, if you get a better speed from using that socket you need an I-plate, they're about a fiver.

ETA: your neighbour may be running ADSL2+, hence better speed aswell.
