There's a lot of stuff on this on the Talk to UPC forum so probably best to post there.

(also http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=54)

(I will leave this here for others with similar problems)

Mine is not slow but the reception for wifi is terrible, compared to the old units that were supplied....

I had to use my old belkin router to get a better signal within the house, which is using up more electricity having to run 2 modems....

I read on utube that you can boost your signal with a wire hanger and a coke can cut open like a flower.... I have this now made and will try it shortly and let you know how it goes.

Also try leaving the door open where your horizon box is located as that helps also.

Please, please there is no reason to be reviving a year old thread particularly as the issue proceeds remorselessly on in various threads on the UPC forum
