Answer 1

Slow internet can give you many factors to take into consideration.

1: What broadband speed package do you have?

2: What speed do you get from a speedtest site eg: http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk

3: Distance from the telephone exchange is a big factor, eg: Longer the distance away, will reduce speed. My Sister can only get 1mb broadband and she is like 4 miles away from the exchange, and we get like 7mb and we are just 500 meters away from the exchange lol.

4: Peak or offpeak times can also be a factor (evenings are far busier than the day for obvious reasons)

5: Website speed can depend on how many users are on that site at that given time.

As you can see, there are quite a bit of things to think of.

If speed is that depressing, try raising a support ticket from BT broadband and see what they suggest.

Also, i do not think it is your hardware that is the problem, very rarely this happens to be honest with you.

Good luck in your quest for speedness, i hope this has helped somewhat
