What's the model of the router - I'll see if I can dig out the stats page.

You are showing a download of about 3.3MB/s - that's pretty good, and a ping of 25ms - again that aint bad either.

The BT info saying 4MB/s or more is a bit misleading - as is your ISP's description of the 8MB/s service - it is up to 8MB.

Often you will only get the full speed when you live next door to the exchange. Also, it does depend on internet traffic - Saturday wil be busy and slower, Sunday 3 am will be much faster!

Going back to your original problem, have you talked to your ISP and checked your router settings? There is a setting is alot of routers called the MTU and some ISP's have specific settings - it's worth a phone call.

I'm not sure your internet speed is the issue as you do have plenty in reserve.
