Wozz, we have the same problem here, there's not even a hope of fibre-optics to replace the copperwire cables for the phones coming here in the next 10 years.

Those things either work or they don't Tim, in my experience.... they don't guarantee an increase in quality and work best on older wiring

My BB speeds have suffered of late at home, used to be excellent, now just mediocre

Hi Tim,

Have you tried removing the BT Bell Wire. It improved my line speed by 30%.

- Just cut the cable.
- Gave me an extra 1.5MB! Took a few days.

I don't have a bell wire connected, but my broadband seems to be slow of late

I have my homehub on the window sill, and i am only sat 5ft away and it says i am connecting at anywhere between 5mbps and 56mbps, (I know this is just the connection between my laptop and hub, not the broadband speed.)

But my hub if saying a 3.6mb connection to the internet, it speeded up last night when i hardwired it via a cable to the hub. (download speed test went from 0.7mb(wireless) to 1.4mb (wired)

I am wondering if its the new plasma TV causing interferance. The surround sound also has a option for wireless rear speakers too, but i don't have these yet, and i would have to insert a wireless card in to the rear of the unit to enable this. But when i set this up i had to change the channel on the router to get the router working.

Mine's not looking to shabby!

I have a 10Mbs cable from Telenet here in Belgium

In UK I live about 1 mile from the exchange and I get about 3-4Mbs on an 8Mbs connection Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

Is your homehub near a cordless telephone?
- They play havoc with wifi

Wifi is always slower than a cable too. 2022 P440e AB

Had to change the channel on mine when I moved into my house because I had to site the router next to the master socket and therefore also the phone base station.... and still I have to use a couple of Homeplug sockets to get the network to the far corners of the house

My wireless video sender trashes my wireless broadband totally. These wireless video senders are crap and use a broad spread of frequency right across wireless router frequencies. My father and father in law also have the same issue with their wireless video senders.

I have no "bell wire" as my house is fairly modern (1988 build)
Cordless phone base station is 3feet from the wifi router so will see if I can find another power socket and long enough phone cable to get a bigger seperation bewteen the router and the base station. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

my router is plugged in to a offical BT telephone extention behind my TV, I have a hubphone plugged in this is a fair distance from the router (i don't use that phone that is shown in the bthomehub adverts its )

my house phone is in the hallway plugged in to the main socket.

Could a subwoofer cause interference as this is next to my routers phone socket

I suppose if it's not very well shielded it may do...

Magentism doesn't affect radio waves (wifi) does it?
- I don't think so...

Or do you mean the magnet may affect the copper in the bell wire. (I suppose it would). 2022 P440e AB
