When in London, I am based in Islington, North London and have a TeleWest 10 Mb broadband connection, TeleWest SB4100 cable modem and a Netgear WGR614v2 4 port wireless router attached. All this equipment is over 2 years old now.

My ethernet connected desktop downloads regularly at 8 to 12 Mb and my wireless laptops show download speeds of between 6 to 8 Mb.

When I spoke to TeleWest Technical Services, I was informed that the choice of router can have an impact on the speed. It is worth trying to connect your PC direct to the cable modem via ethernet and running a speed test. If you then reconnect your router and reboot, you can rerun the speed test to see if your router is causing a drop in speed.
