I Have BT Business Broadband Free Through My Mums Work
But My Internet Speed Is 567.0kps
Which Is Terrible For Broadband
I've Contacted Them A Few Times
And Done A Few Speed Tests On BT's Hompage
I Should Be Getting 3mps
So Why So Slow ? .
They might have but a speed limiter on it...
Also is it wired or wireless?
If its wi-fi you can lose speed depending on the distance and how many interfering objects are present.
Common problems which can result in a slow BT Speed Test result may be poor quality wiring in your home,
Try plugging your modem / ADSL Router into the master socket of your home and running the test again,
If the BT Speed Test is still showing poor results then this is likely one of two things,
1, You have a poor quality phone line and unless speeds are less than about 128kbit/sec download BT are not obliged to do anything about it,
It may be worth reporting a fault if the results are much lower than what your connection should be but be warned BT may charge you £60 if they don't find a problem with your line,
2, The problem is contention, Basically Contention problems at this stage means that your exchange is probably overloaded with users in your local area and needs upgrading by BT,
Broadband contention basically means that the capacity at the exchange and/or Internet service provider is shared with X number of other people,
For example if you have a 2Mbit connection on a contention ratio of 20:1 this means that if everyone connected to your local exchange was running their connection at full capacity for downloads your speed could essentially drop to a 20th of the maximum speed because you are sharing your 2Mbit speed with 19 other people,
It's Wired
Downstairs Phone Line It Just For My Normal House Phone
But Upstairs Phone Line Is My Internet Which Should Be 3mbps
& Im Only 3 Miles Exact From The Transfer Location
What is your download rate, just for curiosity?

56 KB/s? At least it's better than mine (around 40)
