Stonehedge-
I have on multiple devices. It seems like the wireless card is creating some sort of conflict.
@aggi Maybe subconsciously I did!! It's a great machine so very averse to changing it. It works perfectly though any access point I've put it through, but there always seems to have been a loss of connection at one point or the other even with a VPN turned off.
Good shout on the PCI slot, will remove and see.
@chez_jay It seems like you might be getting at something there. There's a very cheap upgrade to the network card that will let this machine work with all the latest standards.
I'm wired up now and it flies, so I'm suspecting it might be a hardware incompatibility issue.

Not sure whether to dump this here or in PC thread.
Just got a new Three 5G router, I haven't been brainwashed yet so all good.
Speeds are better than I've ever had personally. 200mbps consistent. Tested through my phone, GF's mac and wired to the laptop.
However, wirelessly on my X220, I don't even hit 1mbps. Is my laptop too old now? (chipset in a Centrino N1000) Drivers are as new as I can possibly get on here, and on a CAT5 cable, it's 200mbps+, take that out though, and pages barely load.
