New Safecom modem router

Iv connected it all up but only getting a download speed of about 1.3-1.4mbps, im on a 2meg line..Anything that could be causing the loss in speed?

Could be isp or exchange bandwidth problems probably or is it just with the new router?

Dont know, cant test it with anything else as the old router is borked...

I 99% sure its traffic congestion/shaping. Have you just installed it? Maybe you should keep testing over the next few days before contacting your ISP.

Edit: are you using wireless? My safecom router shows 48mbit wireless speed but goes dog slow sometimes!

who are you with?

Im with AOL and no im not wireless, its wired, the speed has varied between 1.3mbps to 1.6mbps on speedtesters, but iv downloaded a few files, some have been lower speeds than i should have, others have been the correct speed.

I know the router has QoS and traffic shaping, but i wasnt aware of it being active at the moment.
