Ok, this is now the maximum my phone line will support until my nearest BT exchange goes fibre op
I dumped the wireless idea and ran some cat5 to the pc. I feel safer with wireless turned off.
At least it's a lot better than it was

I agree with what you're saying about the wireless. Although a properly secured wireless connection is supposed to be pretty secure, I don't like the idea of broadcasting my LAN about the neighborhood. I only turn on my access point when I need it for my laptop which isn't much. Otherwise, everything is hard-wired.

Well I switched ISP a couple of weeks ago and I'm now getting better speeds....
It could still be better, though. I'm still using a 2Wire router with Bigpond firmware which seems to be a bit of a bottleneck, but that should improve later today when I pick up my new Netgear router. My ISP tells me to expect d/l speeds of up to 18 to 20 mb/s without the 2Wire POS impeding things... besides, they don't offer support for 2Wire products anyhow.

Ok,so it's not Monday. Here's mine from this morning. I'm very happy with Mediacom, fast, reliable and not too expensive..

With the new router...
However, this was during peak time and I can expect a little better when the water has drained from the junction box outside. Whenever it rains for a couple of days that fills with water and some line interference is experienced. What I should do is get my neighbours together and get onto the telco to fix it.... to install a better drainage system, etc.

That speedtest.net is giving me higher readings than the other tests I've used. I'm getting around 15/2M on dslreports.com and through my provider's speed test.
