Painfully Slow Internet Connection

Hi Guys,

I am having issues with my connection speeds. I am running a BT Home Hub software version 6.2.6.H.

On the router config page it tells me that my downstream is 3MB and my upstream 1MB (which is what I'd expect due to the distance from my telephone exchange).

However, my browser is running extremely slowly and pages like Facebook with photo's etc. take an age to load.

I ran an online broadband speed checker and it reckons I am getting around 130kbps downstream and 250kbps upstream.

I am connecting to the router wirelessly however I have tried a wired connection also with the same poor results.

I have tried this from two PC's - one running XP one running Linpus Linux and am getting the same results.

Any help or pointers would be gratefully appreciated!

Thanks.
