Just for those who might say its my kit.

250 modem [Changed]

pent 2 Linux router [Ipcop]
All network cards 3 com
All cables changed and checked.
Speeds the same on all pc's in the house [ both Linux and windows based]
All machines have anti virus and anti spyware loaded and run each day.

And after all this still i could not get 10 meg. I keep in touch with the local network lads who say most of the faults they are called to for broadband are 10 meg speed issues.

BE have just installed there kit in the Warrington BT exchange "was stood next to it yesterday" so it might be time to consider the worse case scenario .

If it is a local capacity problem why can they not fix it.
I got an engineer coming today, I have been doing some speedtests and they all coming out at full whack since I woke up like someone has flicked a switch for his visit hmmm. My pings are still shaky tho and I have been told i got 26-28mbit usage at ubr (qam64) and it doesnt warrant an upgrade. So the upgrade policy for local capacity looks to be fairly tight.
