A friend of mine is having very slow internet speeds.
According to BT, the connection between the exchange and the Hub (Hub 5) is good at 15Mb/S (Not fibre obviously)
However, it would appear that, mostly (Not always) she is only getting >1Mb/S at the PC
(The BT speed check only seems to check speeds between exchange and hub. The uswitch one seems to check end-to-end and generates a much slower result (Task manager doesn't register Wi-Fi activity during the BT test, but does during the uswitch one))
I am assuming a problem with the Wi-Fi connection. Next step is to try a direct LAN connection BUT
In the mean time.
How "Line of Sight" is Wi-Fi?
The Hub is only 4M or so away from the PC, while it is in a separate room, the house is a modern stud/plasterboard one internally.
BUT, in terms of direct "Line of Sight" the HWC is right in the path of direct line between the hub and her PC.
Would this be sufficient to obstruct the signal to the extent of causing the slow rates that she is experiencing??
