Hi Dave,
The only way I know to check out speed issues with any
degree of certainty, is to run some tests at decidedly nasty
hours of the day or night, when there are likely to be fewer
users around.
I think some providers are pushing the "contention ratios"
just too far, and what may have been 50 to 1 when you got it
installed may be more like 75 or 100 to 1.
For example, I find that Saturday midnight to Sunday 8am, my
download speeds are close to 2MB, yet by mid-Sunday morning
when all the kids get on line, it's down below 1MB
George.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Wireless Protection
Hi all,
I have seen some posts concerning wireless protection on wi
fi etc I
currently use a BT home hub with my main pc wired to it and
my wife uses
her works laptop pc wirelessly. In the last few weeks, the
internet
download speed has seriously reduced and I have had concerns
about the
security of my system. Could someone be using my connection
and causing
the slow connection? My wife had to load a security code
onto a memory
stick and transfer it onto her pc in order to connect to the
hub. Has
anyone else noticed a general slowing down of broadband
connection
speeds?
Thanks in advance.
Dave
