My broadband connection, upload, download, latencey, drops over 50% around 6 or 7pm most evenings.
I have had a new BB modem fitted and am now on a 1M/b connection, but still, my gaming experience is still not up to scratch, ie. my ping is pants.
Is it possible for anyone, localy, to hijack my line?? I have monitored large downloads and seen the d-load r8 go from 116K/sec to 15K/sec for five or ten minutes, then shoot back up to 116K/sec. Seems fishy to me. Seems asthough I can see someone elses internet activity affetcing my BB performance.
There is an NTL van parked just down the road from me. <----- Jeez am I getting paranoid now or what, lol.
