Re: Connected at 3.1 Mbps - Download Speed only 290kb Please

Do we know what modem it is?

The buffering may be a sympton of the line getting lots of errors, and if at 52dB attenuation it is pushed beyond its ~4.5Meg sync then things might get worse.

It's a BT Homehub 2. The power details are odd.

I think the HH2 used to have issues with its power reporting.

Borrowing a friends router, and just letting it sync to get stats would help (no need to change authentication settings, so can just unplug from one house, plug it in, get stats and then take it back)

So are you downloading HD films? That would explain the buffering.

My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk
Domains,website and mail hosting - Tsohost. Connection - Plusnet Extra Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 56.0/13.9Mbps @ 600m.

If the stats are roughly the same, then no big need to change router.

Trying a different router is just an attempt to try and understand some anomalies in the data we can see.

In reply to a post by DerehamBoy01:
u said 2900kb not 290kb


Download and upload speeds are often reported using KB/sec so I always multiply those numbers by 8 in order to get some idea of the transfer rate in Kbps smile

It should also be born in mind that, for example, a 1000KB file will take longer than 1 second to transfer at 1000KB/sec (8000Kbps) due to overheads, errors etc.
