What can I do about my internet? - Harvey - 04-27-2014 11:31 AM
In my small print it says I should be getting a minimum of 3mbps. When doing a speed test on my ipad, iphone or laptop, I get around 3.4. On my PC, however, I get 2.4mbps. Should I be using a wired connection? I tried using some TalkTalk Homeplugs that came with my youview box, but it made no difference... Should I try a hard wire connection or are homeplugs the same?

You generally never get exactly what you pay for. I pay for 50 mb service, and get around 42. I buy a 500 gig harddrive and get around 490 available. Also, when you're testing matters, as there are more people on during different hours of the day.

If you have multiple devices connected to internet the bandwidth will split between all of them.

The "TalkTalk Homeplugs" are not homeplugs, they are filters and need to be installed in each telephone socket. You then plug your landline phone into the filter and your modem into the other hole.
