Damn BT Broadband connection keeps getting slow, it's not even the congestion, it seems to be the line itself.
Was up at 2,100kbps this morning, then down at 448 kbps again later today, so took master socket apart, checked the wires (which seemed fine), put it back together and now it's up to 882kbps, not as fast as this morning, but better than it was.
Not sure if it's my wiring or what, but I get a constant speed of 2,500kpbs from the test socket in my master socket and very varied speed from the master socket itself.
Should there be that much difference between the test socket (located inside the master socket) and the main master socket? Why does the connection speed (from the Bt Home Hub main page) keep lowering. It's not the download speed, it's the speed at which the line is running as far as I know. The download speed obviously varies with traffic, but this should remain constant (at least, I think it should).
Anyone have an idea?

Well, tested with and without, it does seem that something on my extension is lowering the bandwidth.
Strangely, every day I turn on the PC and it has around 320-400kbps to start with. As soon as I take the router plug out the wall and put it back in + reconnect it shoots back up to the 900s.
This must mean something that uses the phone is knocking the speed back down permanently until the router takes precidence. It's either got to be Sky or my Answerphone, they're the only things plugged in, the phone is plugged in to the router...

You on an open wireless setup?
Perhaps someone else is using your line without your knowledge?

No, they'd need to go through my router and I'm taking the reading directly from the Downstream speed on my Hub tools.
