Wireless is the reason everything is slow. For speedy wireless you need Wireless-N.

Is this the sole reason I have such speeds, though? If it is, I'm ok with that answer. My point being I don't want to swtich to, say, Virgin, only to find the wireless is again causing bad speeds.

Probably. As I say a cheap solution is to move to Wireless-N.

Wireless could well be the reason for the slow Down throughput, but something more drastic is behind the extremely slow Up Sync.

We need to see your speedtest using a wired Ethernet connection.
