    Thank for that, however I am getting 2 to 5 mb of download speed, watching BBC iplayer and it start to buffer on quite a few occasion. Not good. So if we British people dont usually complain than forever we are going to get what we deserve, by the way in the morning I also get 29 mb but I am at work. So can't use the Internet, so if I am suppose to get 30 and do get about 15 to 30 than I will be happy. But not at 2 to 5 mb.
  • Are you using wifi? Have you tested with your computer plugged directly into the modem/router?

    Just tested it using directly plug into the modem using LAN getting speed of 3.86mb. This is now 22.50 hrs. I would not say this is peak hours for Internet use?
