Just changed from 2mb to a Max service from Pipex (don't laugh please) and have some simple and basic questions.
On the 2mb service I would get download speeds at 1.8, when the service changed this morning I found with my first speedcheck I got 7.5 but since then I have been down to 0.6 and now steady at 1.8 again. I know there is a 10 day period while things settle down so is this normal?
Some more info....on the 2mb service my US/DS margin were about 28/29 and now they are 24/10.
I have read as many of the post on speed improvement as I can and changed the wiring in my sockets, should I be switching my router on and off or just leave things to sort out themselves?
Last point, Pipex said I would have a static ip address, this has not happened, does this matter?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
