We will need more info. What type of internet service do you have? Do you use a router? How do you connect the device to the computer?

internet service - BT Broadband 2Mb, ADSL (BT option 1)

Router - BT voyager 205 ADSL router (modem)

Test your speed with one of the UK sites close to you and see what kind of numbers you get.
