Thanks Chris. I just wondered if BT can slow my modem down so I pay more money to them for faster WiFi? Does that make sense? Or am I just cynical ?? :)

Do a speed test to make sure you are getting the speed you are paying for.

I would be very surprised if BT did deliberately slow your broadband down as it is so easy to check. A device running slow is not the same as slow broadband

Check your actual speed here

(Ignore Step 4 though. You don't need a 'cleaner' app).
