i am on a BT line and my ISP is tiscali
i have a thomson TG585 v7 router, but i am getting really rubbish speeds.

tiscali have said the usual things like i should get upto 8mb but i am getting from 1mb to 2mb

i was thinking of buying either the Belkin F5D8631UK4A, or the Netgear DGN2000, or am i wasting my money.

is it all down to settings or something

this is what my router tells me, so if you can shed any light on this for me please...

i cant get 02 here where i live, and i have only just entered a 12 month contract with tiscali (10 months to go) i know my router says it has a down speed of 4.384 but i am getting nowhere near that, do you think it might be the router settings, someone mentioned about altering the MTU size also, but i dont know how to do it
