    at my home hse we have 1 mb broaband 90.8 on speedtests), however it is painfully slow to try and watch a youtube clip or skygo etc. when you are less than 20 yards the connection barometer drops, which to me seems dodgy. is there any way to test to see if the router is faulty, i know it is quite a few years old now.

    And is it just me or should we be able to easily watch a youtube clip with our package,

    Hi liam12989

    What modem are you using at the moment?

    We have set up some tips on how to increase the wifi signal and range that may help - http://bit.ly/PlpCli
