OK here's the situation, last week after 9 years of good service our Netgear router went senile and so in a pinch I had to replace it with the 2wire "business hub" BT gave us when we moved to them in 2008. in 2010 BT upgraded the local exchange and moved everyone from their "up to 8mb" service to a shiny new "up to 20mb" service.
The old netgear router being a pre ADSL2+ design stayed with its connection speed of 6-7mb when this change came in. But when I changed to the BT router last week the speed went up to 10-11mb which I thought was great until I started to notice odd behaviour, sometimes the internet would just stall, you would click on a site and the browser would spends ages and ages loading it before it finally appeared.
Then on Friday the BT router died (lasted less than 7 days) completely, piece of junk, ** No mentioning of competitors ** and bought a new netgear router which was configured just like the original however it too has this stalling issue (although it connects at 11-12mb). Its really annoying waiting for ages for websites to load like 56k and what's worse is its breaking downloads.
Any ideas :S
