i've recently joined, and after only 1 days connection with the a netgear router, a complete loss of internet connection meant that after 2 weeks i finaly recieved a new router today.

This time ive got a Sagem one. I used to get 4Meg with BT Broadband and SKy said i should get the same....

Ive run a speed test today, and it showed only 112kbps download speed....

Ive copied all the other jargon that ive seen people post........any help would be great before i start pulling my hair out again..

could you advise on your set up, are you wireless / where do you have the router plugged in (master socket / extention)

[PaulSky]

When you called about your connection and had a new router sent our do you know if they tried capping your line first? Had a similar call tonight and the line was still capped and hadn't been reset.

[monkeymick]

Hi, im not sure if the line is capped? is the only way to tell by phoning them?

im connected via the normal ethernet wires as i want to try it like this for a month or so before i try wireless........its connected straight into the master socket using the filter that came with the sagem box.

im not sure if the line is capped?

Oh, you're capped, trust me.

I'm betting your full router stats would show your max rate as much higher than 135kbps.

I'm betting your full router stats would show your max rate as much higher than 135kbps.

But the 64k dollar question is ... how do we get the full stats out of the new routers?

[monkeymick]

cheers

[monkeymick]
