Ex NTL Virgin Signal Help Please
 
Hi, I have only just found this excellent forum which I have spent the last couple of days trawling through.

I am posting my signal results because I have 20Mb connection and for the last week the speeds have been totally unacceptable at around 2.5Mb if I am lucky.

Any help would be appreciated.

Your power levels are quite normal for your connection, the may be a local issue or the modem may be acting up in ways we cannnot see from power levels.

Try without the router just to make sure thats not causing this issue.

You could try calling Tech Support to see if the are any issues in your area or posting on the newsgroups.
