Slow internet, what do I do?
I’m in the UK. My internet speed has been between about 0.1 MB and 0.4 MB since last Tuesday. I know my ISP have done a bit of work to their servers last week but I dont understand why the internet is still so slow. Its doing my head in.
All four computers in the house also have slow internet.

I know very little about computers and am likely to f**k up trying to repair anything complicated
Any ADSL broadband is *up to 8 Mb because any provider including BT themselves cannot guarantee any speed at anytime because they are using an out of date telephone system that was designed and built for voice only in the 1930′s.
There are too many variables to take into consideration.
1. Distance from Exchange.
2. Condition of equipment, how up to date it is including the Exchange.
3. Age and condition of wiring, joins, corrosion in the system.
4. Line noise. Will affect it badly.
5. How heavily the exchange is subscribed to.
6. How many people are on at any one time.
Any combination of those will drag your speed down. As much as BT or any broadband provider would like, even they can’t change the laws of physics.
There is nothing physically you can do about it except wait for it to improve.
