Hi RobD & Ronni Following on from my email on Monday, yesterday speed was OK also this afternoon at around 280-300KBs.
At 6.25pm today speed 164KBs Power off modem for 20 secs, re test showed 290KBs. 15 minutes later it remains the same at 290KBs. So does the modem get tired, lose interest, or does it appear faulty. It's a new Billion 7800N?
