Re: Speed Issues
 
unless there is a snag in your cable or something the one you have got should be fine. Cables are graded according to their speed and although you'll find lots of different types out there, there is only one you really need to be looking at which is cat5e which is good up to 1gbit. Have a look on play.com (free p&p) and you can get a nice belkin one or something for a few £

Sometimes antivirus software borks up upload speed tests
Thanks for that jb66, thats all it was stuffing up my uploads.

My laptop now works perfectly with the hub, if i plug in the ethernet cable i get 30mb download and about 3mb upload and over wireless i get between 18mb and 25mb download, so im happy enough with that.

So my problem is between the superhub and the PS3, the speeds are still up and down. I did wonder if the PS3 speedtest was even accurate, so when it said my download speed was 1mb i tryed PS3 iplayer and sure enough it was buffering every 5 seconds, yet 10 mins later i did another speedtest and it said i was getting 17mb so i tryed iplayer again and it worked perfectly. (This was all with the PS3 connected via ethernet cable).
