I recently joined sky broadband and was given a netgear adsl router DG834GT together with an 8 meg connection. The computer shows that the router is connected at 8megabits but when I go to test my download at any given site I get a response saying that my download speed is only 0.8mb i.e around 7800 kb. If I go to a UK site I get a reading of around 2Mbps, better but nowhere near the 8Mbs connection I have.
I am connected to the router via a wlan adapter which seems to be connected at 100% strength and quality.
Can anyone please help as ringing Sky doesn't help much as I feel the person I end up talking to knows as little, if not less , then I do. Incidently, they say that I should be capable of downloading at 8Mbs.
