try removing the bell wire out of your man bt phone plug its the orange wire in terminal 2. Mine is slow every so often but only for a few seconds then its back up to 3 or 4 mb. It might also be your wireless transfer rate i hated mine so got a big wire.

Default bt

ashley i am on bt and thinking back i had the same trouble and read the small print in the setup leaflet it says to switch the hub on and leave for an hour or so for the hub to find the shortest route to the source feed, leave your ethenet cable un coupled and dont use the laptop, my hub reading was 1.6 but after i did as per instruction leaflet it shot up to 6.4 and has been great ever since. good luck.

my BT has been pretty much faultless for the last 3 years, not bad speed either
