All seems ok except for speed test?

I have just purchased a Netgear DG834N and have

1. Set up a static IP for my computer (192.168.0.2), with the DNS servers from the routers status page

2. Turned off UPNP on both router and uTorrent, and NAT-PMT port mapping in Utorrent

3. Set up a service for the router , port 6812, UDP/TCP

4. Set up a new ingoing and outgoing rule for that static IP and that service

5. Turned off vistas firewall

Yet when i do the speed test, i get

Error! Port 6812 does not appear to be open, and my downloads are quite slow, never reaching a third of what i use to get on my old Belkin router

although, i do get the green tick on the bottom of the Utorrent window, amy ideas?

We do not discuss speed problems in this section of the forum.

maya18222,

You're not alone.

Your ISP (Carphone Warehouse Broadband Services -- which resells internet access to AOL and others) is COMPLETELY hostile to BitTorrent traffic:
