Ive tried a different proxy as suggested by tech support, and it didnt help the cut offs one bit.
And time and again here [and on an old defunct ntl related board] that Robin Walkers speed test is the one to use, if its not will someone give us a decent one that everyone should use?
cheers.
And i,m not really interested in speed that much, just a decent connection,[and those tests show its erratic at times]which is something i dont have anymore.
