I'm not sure if this is supposed to be posted here, so please move it if it's not >.<
Ok, I have a BT Voyager 2000 router supplying 4 computers in the house, and maybe a laptop or two too. It's connected to my computer via an ethernet cable, and to all of the others via wireless.
My parents currently pay for BT Total Broadband, "Option 3", which is supposed to give 8Mb Broadband, unlimited downloads, etc. It's £27.00 p/m.
Yet recently, I took a speedtest on the internet, and "my" (The computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable) download speed is only 1Mb/s, when it should be 8Mb, right?
So.. I tried to eliminate possibilities. I searched and looked at information about my router on the internet, thinking maybe my router only lets through 1Mb, and can't handle the full 8Mb my parents pay for... Nope. =/ My router is capable of channeling 8Mb/s.
So.... I'm at a dead end, I have no idea why we're only recieving 1Mb broadband when we're paying for 8Mb. Any ideas? >.<
*Oh, and on a side note, I think BT is screwing up. I game on my computer a bit, and i've been getting some pretty high latency, such as 200/300 since about a month ago now.. I thought at first it was just the ISP, and would stop soon. After a week or so, I assumed it must be something wrong with my computer, but finding nothing wrong, I got a friend to ping my router, which had a latency of on average 324ms... High =/ So... That deduces that it must be BT screwing up?
Any comments on that issue would also be extremely helpful. Thanks ^^
