Hi
Can you please confirm what STM is?
When I was on 4 meg I consistently got almost 4.
Now on 10, it seems all over the place when I use speedtest
Today I have tested several times with speedtest as I thought my router may have gone dodgy, (I unplugged it for over a week whilst I was on holiday,) and my results are all over the place.
Highest today 9.6mb/s, lowest 1.03!
Upload is consistently 0.47 or 0.48. From the comment above by Kymmy, is this just congestion causing the issue?
I had an engineer booked for tomorrow but cancelled it this evening as it seemed ok again this afternoon.
Now it is poor again.
My cable modem is about 4 years old, and as I say the problem seems worse this week as I unplugged it for a week whilst on holiday, and plugged it in again yesterday.
Thanks
