I'm not even going to bother as it's 1.5Mb/s at best.

I've just fired off a email to Sky to get them to manually profile my line to get a better speed. Otherwise, I'm looking at FTTC supplier, although digital region is expensive and not sure how good it really is.

This made me larf

on the belkin router



straight out of the modem



i was convinced the belkin router was slowing me down, but it looks like it makes no difference (granted xbox is off and downstairs laptop is off)

i will try again out of peak hours to see if it improves, i cant remember if im supposed to be on 10 or 20meg, im happy with my results

I've binned off the talktalk software on my router and gone backwards, solved loads of problems

The exchange is probably a 5min walk from my house though lol

What did you do? I'm with talktalk and have the router they provided, a D-Link DSL2640R.

Yesterday we renewed a 12 month contract with them though, they're sending out a new "N" wireless router and they slashed £10 off the monthly bill with the same boosts we already had  :smiley: :smiley:
