A question about broadband
by Tomwin Lannister Thu Dec 04, 2014 12:07 am
Basically, I have BT internet and my 'hub' is shite so I need a new router
Anybody know of a good router I can get that works with bt/can be made to work with bt because their home hub 4 is shite and their home hub 5 costs 139 quid

Hmm. Wonder if weak wifi signals as a general that could be the problem.
router can only help as much.

Then check those routers out. The good ones cost a lot but they are worth it.

I have heard BT Home Hub 5 is the best ISP router though. Maybe you can ask them for it just to be safe?

Does having a faster speed make any difference? Mine is around 10-15 mb/s and most pages load fast. Download speeds are usually dependent on the cap the host sets/the seeds etc.

Not necessarily. Most normal webpages aren't that big that 10 Mbit/s vs. 50 Mbit/s would make a difference. Workload of the servers and of your ISP matters more. You probably notice it when you try to watch Youtube video at 3 am or 8 pm, there should be a difference despite your max. downspeed remaining the same.
