Poor BB speed Sky

in Broadband & internet access
I am having trouble uploading work to various websites for my business. I have had no problem up until today where uploads either a very slow, hang saying 100% uploaded (when it isn't) or no response. I have shut off Avast antivirus but not really made much difference. Yesterday I had a windows update and I use Chrome.

I still use my 02 router as it has never failed but not had any need to switch to the Sky one provided.

I have just done a speed test and the results are

Download Speed=2.92
Upload Speed=0.156

    Perhaps time to switch routers, they don't last forever.

    No its not as it tells you nothing about your phusical connection.

    Log on to your router and have a rummage.

    You are looking for downlink and uplink speed, attenuation and noise margin.
