Got our box swapped a couple of weeks ago, before the swap the tv was very slow and the broadband (1MB) seemed ok although the upload never went above 20KB/s, after having the samsung box installed the tv is a lot faster but the broadband seems to be worse, the downloads seems to max at ~105 (managed 121kb with the pace) and the upload never goes above ~12kb/s now. There also seems to be a lot more packet loss with the samsung as online games (like natural selection/cs/ut2004) are now very jumpy and are sometimes unplayable.
Ive checked to see if others were downloading while the games were bad (since the bb is connected through a router which is networked to some 7pcs) and its still bad when no one else is using the internet. Ive also noticed that when maxing out the upload (using ftp to send files to a server) the connection becomes unusable for everyone else on the network (unable to even browse).
Im just wondering if packet loss is grounds for getting the connection checked and also whether a SACM might be a better solution with so many pcs connected though the broadband.
thanks for your suggestions on the matter.
