I hate VM with a passion for their customer service but their BB in my area has always been stable and BT while cheaper can only offer me UP TO 8Mb, plus my lad likes his gaming so we are on the top package.

Come back with the results next week?

as early as that

just done my check, quite normal for me, Supplier--EE Broadband and includes line rental + free weekend calls, the total includes the VAT ---Total £19.75 a month, I`m using their Brightbox router, Hardwired to the desktopand 3 appliances with Cat 5 cable. I only use wireless for our lasses Tablet and the two Mobile phones. All the family know the log in password for Wirless so when they are here they all logged on as well.
Never had any complaints with the service or the speed. It was a lot cheaper but the 2 yr deal finished and I couldnt bend their arm, there is equivelant price deals on the market now.

Might be worth having a chat with them as their latest base package is up to 50Mb now. Sometimes the signal strength needs adjusting at the cabinet.

Worth having a look in the system info page of your router* too, there'll be a bunch of info in there including both attainable connection speed and actual download/upload rate as well noise margins and attenuation. I've always found the actual rate to pretty much tally with online speed tests. I'm with Orange on a BT line and the actual speed can vary a chunk depending on various things including the IPaddress i happen to be given at the time. Attainable is usually just shy of 13Mb/s, actual speed is usually anywhere between 2 and 8ish and when it's slow disconnecting and reconnecting will usually get me a new IP addy and a different connection speed

* Typical address is 192.168.1.1 and you'll then be asked for a password which, unless you've changed it, will be the default one given to you when you signed up

If you are still on copper wires, and have low speed connection, changing provider isnt likely to change things an awful lot.

It depends on what equipment each provider has in the exchange. We have been upgrading NHS sites that are still on copper and by changing providers we have been getting increases of more than double.
Locally TalkTalk seem pretty poor, some sites had around 4mb/s with them and by changing providers they are now on 12mb/s. These are rural centres for Health Visitors/District Nurses.

We have also been junking the providers routers and fitting the Draytek 2860 routers, not cheap but if you want a stable router that's not going to lock up or keep dropping out then this is the one to get:

Ping (whatever that is) 56m/s

Ours if FTC.
It has its ups and downs, few teething problems, but mostly okay now.




I'm told to get a more accurate speed check, ideally you'd be plugged in rather than working wireless.

ping is the time taken for your signal to reach the host then back to you again
