Yeah, in the other thread, I mentioned that downloading files from a reputable source is fine, which we just proved there.

The problem is that it keeps failing when I'm browsing the internet, and for some reason can barely stream any media, even low bitrate radio from bbc.co.uk. Watching any videos or streaming music online leads me to constantly waiting for it to finish buffering every few seconds, and I can't imagine this connection speed can't handle some forums and the bbc website. Pages can take anywhere between 10 and 30 seconds to load, but this is 10 meg broadband I'm paying for.

Quite often I'll be looking at something and the images on the page refuse to load, but some of the other content does. It's not consistent and I can't put it down to anything in particular, or any particular websites.

My problem is that the connection is intermittent. When it works, it does work. But for the last month or so it's not been anywhere near as reliable as it should be. I don't want to pay for an intermittent connection. I was just trying to gather some information about connection issues others might be facing and whether there's anything going on that could be causing this problem.


Did you see my downstream and upstream data on the other thread?
