Hi all last week i upgraded from 30mbps to 50mbps from UPC and got a new wireless cisco modem but am only getting 19 to 20mbps wireless but 40 to 50mbps directly connected to modem,my previous wireless router was a Netgear 108 mbps roeter wgt624 v4 and i was getting 10 to 12mbs download speed,i rang UPC about this but said it could be the wireless card in my laptop which is a Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20) he said if i have a G class ill only get 20mbps or so but with a N class ill get much better speeds
Is this true and if anyone can tell me is my wireless card a G class or a N class,Im running windows 7 aceir aspire 5739g,4gb ram,500gb hardrive,intel (r) croe(tm)2 duo cpu
T660 @2.20ghz,64 bit system.:hmmmm2:

Alot of Government money is being put in to make BB speeds even faster. As we have one slowest BB speeds in the world for a developed nation.

So far London, Bham, Manchester & Sheffield have been confirmed to get a big grant and there are 6 other citys who could get a grant Leeds n Bradford have put in a joint application for the grant to improve speeds.

I received a letter from Vermin today saying in the nxt 18 months BB speeds are set to rocket and the current 20 meg im getting will be increased.

I only upgraded from 10 megs to 20 megs about 3 months ago so sounds good.

Is your router N class? If not your not going to get that speed. A G class router with N card gives you G.
