Just one thought:  are you hardwired to your PN router or do you go via wireless?

[#3]

wirelesws alaric  txs for reply this prob is driving everyone mad
wireless  broadcom 802 latest drivers etc etc..even the local repair man gave up

[#4]

Can you try using a cable instead of wireless just for testing and then try the iplayer speedtest again?

[#5]

holy cow  screams to moses  lol  yes yes yes chris    using cable

iplayer  dl      6167
stream1 4804
stream2 5814
stream 3 6257

If you are using IEEE_802.11B then 3800 is probably the maximum you can expect.

  wow  itsme txs for your time  and suggestion  so what do i have to do to use wireless? and get the streaming speed up?

[#10]

802.11b/g  wlan  thats whats on this stupid notebook
what do you suggest i buy and will i need a new router?

[#11]

We'd better check what router you already have, so we can see what wireless you should already be getting...
It might be good if you can also get the wireless stats out of your computer too. If it is windows, then there usually a way you can get the "Status" box up for the network adapter, which will then show you the speed and signal quality.
After all, your stats have said you can download at 6M. It is just the streaming that gets cut to 3M, right?

[#12]

txs steve and yes www wombat its just the streaming speed using wireless
is anyone suggesting that either the pn router or my broadcom wireless in not up to the task

progress is being made  txs to you all but its still not solved  and i simply cant go back to cables.

Do you have neighbours nearby using wireless for their PC connections?  If they are using the same band as you it can interfere with the WiFi that you are using.
If you suspect that it is usually a simple job to switch to another band on the wireless router.  Personally I bought a wireless access point with detachable antennae, then I bought some bigger antennae with better db gain(?) to overwhelm the neighbour's signal. It's a techniques used by the BT HomeHub, they just blast out at the max legal strength.

[#14]

yes there are 7 neighbours using wireless i dont know what channels they are on.there are 2 belkins  2  bt homehubs  i bt fone 1 openworld
i speedtouch

You could try using inSSIDer. That will scan the Wifi environment, so you can see what your laptop is seeing.
That way, if your router is using a channel that clashes with the neighbours, you can reconfigure it *and* get an idea of what a good alternative channel number is.
