60mb upgrade

Yesterday I got upgraded to 60MB internet and the engineer said it would take up to 24hours until I get them speeds. But now it has been 24hours and the best speed I can get from the wireless is 10-12mbps and from the wired connection I can get 30mbps. Is there anything I could check on the superhub it self to make sure its working properly.

Complete and utter rubbish! You should get the correct speeds as soon as theyve sent the new config through. Mine was upped from 10 to 60 yesterday and I instantly started getting 60 meg while the engineer was still here.

I see your upload speed is correct. Try rebooting the modem again, and if your using your own router, remove it and try connecting the superhub straight into the pc to eliminate your router as the problem. For the record Im running my superhub in modem mode with my own buffalo 300Mbps N router.

Cheers

Re: 60mb upgrade

your on 60meg.

when testing max speeds do it via ethernet not wireless. try > www.speedtester.bt.com/

whats the specs of your wired desktop system? and laptop?

download inSSIDer onto a wireless capable device/laptop and run the program. itll scan for all reachable networks. note which channel each uses then set your network to use a channel that isnt in use. the channel numbers will range from 1-13.

www.metageek.net/products/inssider/

to change wireless channels on the SH...

log into your SH. put this into your web browser and hit enter

click on advanced settings below the 3 box

then wireless settings within the left hand column.

Re: 60mb upgrade

Downstream power could be a little better, optimum is above -3 dBmV, but I dought thats causing the low speeds since your well within tolerance.

Im using a wireless usb for my computer. I just changed the channel to 13 and made the speed go down to 14mbps.

Re: 60mb upgrade

Ok, I have tested all channels and channel 6 seems to be the best for me and I have changed it from 300mpbs to 145mpbs and can now get 25.97mbps so far

Re: 60mb upgrade

I have been monitoring the quality of my broadband since this morning and so far it is this.



I think the big red lines are when I turned my router off to change settings but im not sure.
