Connected at 3.1 Mbps - Download Speed only 290kb PleaseHelp

Hello,

The B.T Speed test tells me I have a good speed of 2.34 Mbps but my Download Speeds are nowhere near that (292kbps! Infact)

Slow Speeds are a problem for me as I do download alot of stuff and also like to watch films but cant due to buffering constanly and its really annoying me.

Speed Test Details:
Date: 02/09/2012

Download speed achieved during the test was - 2.3 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.6 Mbps-7.15 Mbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :3.07 Mbps(DOWN-STREAM), 0.45 Mbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 2.5 Mbps


if anyone could help me, that would be greatly appreciated!

Got to be something your end, the profile checks out as OK. Are you connected via wireless ?

Yes I am connected via wireless and I also did a speed test from the test socket using an computer connected via Ethernet and tested the speeds and got the same result :/ . Also I figured using the test socket was giving me faster speeds well the 290kb as if I had used the other I only got 180kb

Hmm, time to post your stats from your router.

Here Is Some Additional Info That I Forgot To Mention In The Main Post.

1. My Lines are fairly New only 4 1/2 Years old (Installed When I Moved Here)
2. I am 1962 Meters From The Exchange (Info From uSwitch Broadband Speed Stats.
3. Sometimes my HomeHub will disconnect from broadband, The Flashing orange one, And when I dial anynumber e.g 1471 it will go back to blue indicating the connection is back. (And I find that strangely weird)

2. You are 3.8km from the exchange (Info from attenuation)

No I am 1.9 km from my exchange. Im 1962meters from it. 1,000 meters in one km there-fore im about 1.9km from it.
