    Hi
    Didn't want to post this in the upgrade thread as I think it's my own setup problem
    My router is syncing at 7616 down and 672 up.
    When testing download speeds from url.ie/qv and itunes download, I get a solid 773Kbps on my ethernet wired desktop, however when i check the same on my laptop wireless connection the speed is all over the place jumping from 776 to 245 to 442 etc in the blink of an eye.
    I've been monitoring it now for a few days and at different time and it's always the same....Desktop = maxed out and stable and laptop crazily erratic!!!!
    Anybody got any suddestions as to what might be my issue?
    And speedtest.net reports both machines as in and around 6545Kbps down and 545Kbps up everytime.

    Cheers

    Stop checking your upload and download speeds and it won't trouble you.

    Sounds like your wireless connection is running into signal issues, doesn't sound like anything to do with your broadband,

    It sounds more like an WiFi issue and nothing to do with Broadband since your cabled ethernet is fine:
