And you wonder why people are annoyed with NTL -- hmmm.

I understand this is not a offical NTL help desk thing (if it is - im shocked) and maybe im so conditioned by the whole thing is probably why i just typed without thinking - can you blame me?

My PC is set up as far as im aware fine - the reaosn i say this is becuase before i pressed "upgrade me" button speeds where fine. I had the forsight to for exmaple try various sources to see if it was NET related in that the sites i get stuff from maybe were slow for example but like i said - the speeds vary from 60k/sec anywhere upto 120k Sec (which is normal for a 1mbit line). They tend to run 60-80 most of the time.

I checked for exmaple that I have received GOLD package - i could have stil been on silver for exmaple. The games i play had no lag and now they do - ever since i upgraded funny enough.

I have a Motorola Surfboard 4100 - thats Stand alone - wired via ethernet running on Windows XP pro.

I also mentioned somewhere there i Checked the loading on my side - that also is fine - not overloaded at all and on the bext channel it seem.

With the replys i got - it seems a sensible idea that maybe NTl aint the best option then becuase i have tried Cable modem Support (who said it all looks fine to me sir), IRC and now here as a last resort before looking for a ADSl supplier.

In a way im lucky - why? becuase i am not in contract, all i need is one month notice and i can get ADSL as well which is by the way from what i have looked up so far cheaper to be honest.

So thaks all for you wonderfull help......
