Amon: Nice. Anywya in theory I can get up to 8Mbit but no cable. Like I said I've asked Orange to upgrade me (asked twice before and they said I couldn't be but that was 6 months or more ago).
went here http://www.btopenworld.com/speedtest and was getting crappy 36K per second downloads.
dawlane: Funny you should suggest that, I was just logged onto the router. I've got a Noise Margin of 29.9B which I believe is fine and Attenuation of 30dB which again is pretty good (means I'm near the exchange). Can't plug my router cable into phone jack as one is RJ45 and the other is RJ11. I had wondered about freeloaders, the router does list some other devices logged onto it but I assumed that was other devices in my house (I have full WEP security). I'll try disabling it anyway. Yeah network performance tools, that's what I need. (I wrote on for a normal network years ago, a speed tester). Meanwhile, the router is a Wanadoo LiveBox had it for 3 years, pretty sure I've had good download speeds before but I've had patches recently where the livebox dropped out and reconnected quite a lot, although it's been OK for a while now. I mainly noticed the issue when I tried to stream 196kbps from DI.FM which should be totally fine on a 2Mbit connection!
