Hi all, i posted here last week asking a few questions about wireless and the superhub. Well i decided to take the plunge and upgrade my 10mb to 30mb and so a technician came out to install the superhub. He did a speed test afterwards and it read 21mb so he made some adjustment and the speed test then said 26mb.

Since then ive tryed several speed tests on both my PS3 and on my laptop and the download speed seems all over the place ive had from as little as 1.5mb to as high as 24mb. I can do two tests back to back and get two very different results within a matter of minutes.

I have two PS3s and one laptop connected to the hub. The PS3 downstairs is connected via ethernet lead and the other PS3 and laptop are wireless. When i had the 10mb broardband it was connected to the downstairs PS3 via ethernet and off peak i was allways getting about 9.6mb and at peak times between 2.5mb and 4.5mb. Now even though its still connected via ethernet ive had speeds as low as 1.5mb and when playing games online my connection shows only 3 green bars and not the full 4 bars as it did before.
As for the wireless side of things the PS3 upstairs and laptop seem to connect ok and PS3 says signal strength is 95%, so im pleased enough with that. Its just the speed issue.

Sorry for the wall of text just trying to give a clear picture. So can anybody offer any advice? I have figured out how to connect directly to the hub and seen all the advanced settings etc, so if any additional info is required just say but please bare with me as im a complete newb.

Thanks.
