TINY said:10mb connection I'm on, I get about 8.5mb normally. Downloading torrents with lots of seeders I normally reach 1mb/s.
I'm lucky if I get to 200kbps!

all sorted, so what is my best way to stop anyone else using my signal, and hacking in to my pc through it? For the time being there will only be my pc using it, no laptops etc in the house

Use access control which is set by the control panel of your router, usually found at: http://192.168.0.1
Use whatever password and username you have for your modem, it might say in the manual. Then you can set access control and only allow those which MAC addresses you add to the allow list.
You can also set WEP keys to prevent others from using your network.
Generally you don't get people using it. It depends on what sort of area you live in. If it is densly crouded terraces, then perhaps you need to assign a WEP key. If you live in more spacious detatched then perhaps access control only may do.
