Your speed test is 38Mb but pages are still slow to load, even with different browsers.
Raw download speed might not be the issue. In downloading the page, your browser makes a large number of requests and downloads many small files, perhaps hundreds, from 1 or more web servers. Eg. downloading bbc.co.uk requires 268 requests and downloads 138 files, just for the front page. Your PC does a lot of work to to open and close 268 network connections. Also your PC must do work in rendering the pages, running embedded scripts and what have you, which briefly loads the CPU. Downloading bbc.co.uk takes 4.5 seconds on my i7 laptop, 8.6 seconds on a Raspberry pi 2, and 24.3 seconds on a Pi 1.
Those tests are with wget and a single thread, all wired. Browsers do it quicker by raising parallel requests. Anyway what I am saying is the problem might be in your PC, tablet or whatever. My Internet speed is 17 Mb/s btw.Comment

These responses are like the BT "technical" assistance script.
If you use powerline adapters do they need to be (re-)configured?
Do you only see this on one machine via poweline? What about when you connect using WiFi on the laptop? What about when you use your smart-phone/tablet/etc on WiFi?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
