    Today, just now it has taken me around half an hour to download an 11MB file. So I went onto speedtest.net and it confirms that my current d/l speed is 0.25mb

    Are any other BT Broadband customers experiencing this today??

    .25mb is a quarter of a megabit, or 256 bits. If we divide that by 8 to try and get a kb figure we get 32. So you are either getting 32KB or 32B depending on what you meant by .25mb.

    Can you post the speedtest.net results in KB?

    Okay it has actually gone up from 0.25Mb/s to 1.33Mb/s. However it's normally around the 2.5Mb/s mark...

    I am in Roscommon and mine done the same.
    I done this and up to 7mb now.

    Go to 192.168.1.1

    Go advanced>System>Upgrade

    Update your firmware, mine was 3.03c now it is 3.62

    takes about 7 - 10 mins and all is good after
