I use my neighbour's wi-fi (with their permission) and he's just fitted a directional antenna for my benefit.
The RSSI is now around -59 compared with -72 previously and Windows reports a speed of 150/180/270Mbps, up from something like 50Mbps before.
And yet pages are much slower to load, everything is slower. I've also done a speed test and up is faster than down: 2.35/4.92Mbps.
How can this be and what can be done about it?
perhaps you've pissed them off a bit with your whinging, and they're just turning the tap off slightly
3rd class wifi is better than 1st class 56k modem

I was offered the use of their internet because work has been scarce this Winter and I couldn't afford to keep using my PAYG mobile dongle.
Why that is their concern, is because I maintain the family's bikes (FOC) and spend quite a lot of time on the internet price-checking spares, searching for parts, comparing new bikes and selling their old ones.
Apart from which, in the unlikely event that they are reading this thread, I'm pretty sure that (unlike you) they know the difference between a whinge and a question.
