Hello,
I recently upgraded my broadband to Virgin Media's Fibre optic 50MB package. I am seeing noticeable improvements in speed, but i am wondering if my router is slowing this down. I have the Modem and Router that came free with the package. I have a LAN setup with the computer next door - which is wireless.
The router is a D-Link DIR-615. According to the Task Manager the link speed is 100Mbps.
On speedtest i can get upto 48MB p/s, but when it comes to downloading movies or similarly large files i have never seen the speed over 300KBp/s...virgin said a 15GB ble ray movie should take only one hour..a 500MB one takes me 2 hours, not happy atm. I have read that the better routers can achieve 300Mbps. Could anyone tell me is there anyway that i could get a faster connection, be it buying a new router or whatever.
