OK--THANKS....I use two testers..Speedtest.net & uswitch broadband speed test..Both were, are the same speeds. YES..Both PC's are wired via patch leads as ALWAYS.

Put everything back as they were in the router. Switched off, pulled the plug, 10 min later i switch on, Still the Same.....

Not been on since. Today at 3:00pm I switched on and did two tests via the above mentioned. Glory Be! It was 54.48MBps 3 mbps. Stayed that way so far.
I am aware that if I download it don't affect me, but if I upload more than I should I will be curtailed...I don't do either during the day except if I email a large Tiff photo. Night time is when I do use the internet for other things...I also use the Cloud. Dropbox--OneDrive--Google Drive--Amazon Drive..But not every day....Lets hope this speed stays as is..Will let you know if it don't...By the way, I read most posts in here at least 3 times a week, but first I have posted in Yonks...Thanks for the Help. Appreciated Lots.

Now then, not sure if patch leads make a difference...Just checked them, and they be----Blue cat5 patch cable, Yellow 5e, Two Grayish 5 upt, I also got a Black patch 6 here not used, any idea what patch 6 is for. Sorry to be a pest..But very strange for both PCs to show different .

Ok I think I understand why the differences....Bristol, Newport show the same speeds..London is lower. Am I correct. Must learn a bit more on this..I'm wrong..London just showed a high speed. Duh..BAFFLED!!!!
