my wireless router gave up working, for the past week its been on/off till yesterday when it gave up, even plugged in to the router the internet didnt work, anyway i had alot of invoices to get out before i go away so this morn nipped to maplin and bought a £35 router, brought it home and set it up, rang talk talk for some code or other and they said they would send me a new fastest one they do but in 5 days, so i set the maplins one up, anyway im back online but its slow, very slow compared to before,  before i clicked and instantly there, now i click a forum title and literally 10 seconds or so to load,
is this my chasty router?

tbh its got me by for the bills to be sent out so can sort at a later date

Check www.speedtest.net and give us back the results of that please?

download speed  3.44mbps    upload speed 0.73mbps          ping 37ms

thanks

ADSL over copper I assume with those speeds.

So, you have your filter connected in the socket, right?

yes, just not the one that came with my new router

All other (used) telephone sockets have a filter as well?

Also - swap the filter as well, they can go wrong.

just realised the bt socket (slave) where it pluged into is loose, although the phone does make/ recieve calls fin, i will change that in the morn and fit the new filter that came with the router

changed slave socket and filter, and my download speed gone to 7mbps,  upload to 0.8mbps and ping at 37

it seems alot fast but ive no idea what is a good speed etc

For ADSL that is about as good as you can get.

+1 for average on an ADSL2+ system - which they nearly all are now unless fibred.

thats ok then, a non computer expert has fixed his internet

thanks

You saved a BT callous fee for that, they would definitely have charged you to fix it when TalkTalk finally passed it to them when they exhausted trouble shooting options.
