Hi guys, I'm new here. I decided to go with Sky broadband as it was cheap. Anyway after waiting 2 weeks, got activated today and have been fiddling with it all day (after easy installation). I have the 16Mb MAX subscription.
Wired I get 8Mb down/0.6Mb up. I knew I wouldn't get 16Mb down, but was a little dissapointed it was HALF! Oh well, I accept this.. BUT I also have the same problem with slow down speeds on wireless!!
I have 3 wireless cards (1 Intel inbuilt to my laptop, 1 3Com USB, 1 Edimax USB). ALL are 802.11g. I get 54Mbps connections on all except the Edimax, which is about 36Mbps.
Anyway the most important part... I only get maximum of 3Mb down!! Whether it be right next to the router or upstairs, doesn't make a difference! Upload speeds are fine, they are at 650Kbs all the time. ALL 3 cards are like this!!
I phoned up Sky, and they said to contact the wireless NIC companies :S:S. HMMMM yeah cos thats the problem!!! (sarcasm). They said because I can establish a wireless connection, that the router is fine. The only way they can offer support is if I have Sky wireless NIC!! GREAT help! :S:S He also said that they don't usually get problems with speeds if the connections are made. Hmmm, evidently not true as this thread shows.
ANY help will be most appreciated (I refuse to buy a Sky wireless NIC just to get the proper speeds!).
