DOH! Homer Simpson Router configuration moment.
Category QOS Setting
For the last couple of weeks, I've been wondering why my upload speed was slow, I'm paying for 1Mb and I was getting around 300k. I plugged my PC into my backup DSL line and that was giving the advertised 768k, so how come the cable wasn't giving me 1Mb. The sleuthing began, after unplugging various routers, conecting to the modem directly and getting the correct speed I decided it was the router. Downloaded the latest firmware and checked it again, still 300k. Plugged in an old spare router and that was fine, so time to check the router settings, hidden away on the QOS settings page, was an upload speed setting, it was et to 300k instead of being set to 1Mb or Auto. Changed it and the world was good again, oops.
