I have a customer with the Telkom wi-fi router, and he has three PCs connecting to the router wirelessly. The wireless cars all have great signal, but the people using the wireless connections experience terrible, terrible speeds (30 minutes to load a website). Typically there's only one person connected at any time, so I doubt there's cany issue with hogging.

Unfortunately I can't test the router at the right times using a direct network cable, so I can't verify the speeds. I have seen it really slow from the wireless PC, but usually when I test over the weekends, it's slow, but adequate. Problems seem to be worst during the day on weekdays.

Any ideas? Could this be a router problem, or is it a line problem? I seriously doubt it's the wireless part.
 
Check that the all the pc's wireless access points and the routers wireless channels are the same. If im not mistaken the channel that they all should be using should be channel 1, and make sure that the channel mode is set to europe. Apart from that i suggest you connect an ethernet cable between them and the router and check if that works properly

30 minutes to load a website is a bit worse than terrible.

Without testing its hard to say where the fault lies.
