Shite router.

Reduce the number of connections within the p2p app, and also tame down the max bandwidth it can use.

As TB says, put the brakes on the upload speed in your Torrent client.

As far as routers go, wireless N will give you noticable improvements, even when used with the old 54G stuff.

Not a fan of anything Netgear, mainly due to previous incompitence of their firmware writers.  N wireless worthwhile

A Ping request will always be slower on Wi-Fi, although 80ms ain't that quick where gaming is concerned.

Thats awful, even hardwired :o.  Wifi will have a hit, but compared to the broandband, should be negligible


Sony equipped it with Wifi, as the market they are aiming at is people too stupid/lazy to do it properly. Much like Nintendo.

That's not quick, it's amazing......amazing you can hold the connection for long enough to get the reply from the Ping request that is  ;D

yeah i live nr Llandrindod Wells and i think im one of only a few with a 3G Dongle its a very backwards town you see!  i get a 70-80ms ping with about a 5mbps Speedtest consistent

ive tried my dongle in a big city and its unusable

I have to have one of these Dongles as BT use a system here thats the predecessor to DACS its based on a Crossbar exchange they call it the Gefeller its a 16 pair cable to 30+ lines 

I refuse to pay full rate line rental for a shared service

IIRC, Gfella is a 95 line system - sure yours isn't one of the smaller concentrators.


BTW, as I'm sure you know, BT's only legal requirement is to provide a system capable of usable voice into the PSTN

its a Smaller Gefeller it used to have alot more lines on it before they put a big cable in to the primary school sadly they wont bring the cable up to us as it would cost too much >:( >:(

when i worked on Exchange maintenace it was a rite PITA and well known to most Midwales & The marches engineers we had a few spares not many though theyre used alot in Scotland

FAO The Boy the exchange is a UXD 5 Aswell so sometimes no service is provided lol
