BT Infinity 1 - web page load is crap but download speed is not!

[psychocandy]

Just moved from Sky Fibre to BT.

Download speed is reported as very good BUT web pages are very slow to load indeed. Seems to be an issue for a lot of people.

Anyone else had this? Wondering if using public DNS server would make a difference. BTs seem particularly pants.

I was going to say DNS. Try using 8.8.8.8.

Best way to check what you should be getting down the line, connect a PC or laptop to the white BT box (the one that connects to the BT master socket via RJ11) with an RJ45 and create a PPPoE connection using your BT credentials from that....then try a BT speed test, if that comes back crap then you've got an issue which is on BT's side....if that comes back with a decent speed then the issue is on your network side.

Are all Web pages slow or just some. If so, which?
