Hi all,
Wonderful forum you have here.

Now down to my problem..

i currently have problems connecting to any sites out of the UK...they load very slow usually (with the odd one loading fast)

and if i try to send a file to anyone in the US i struggle to reach 20kb/s upload.

I struggle to reach any good download speeds from american sites as well (hell, even microsoft is usually slow averaging 100-200kb/s)

But someone in the UK i can do 50-60kb/s easy.

I know US is quite far away but i used to be able to send to them at 50kb/s without a problem.

it's that bad at times that even msn messages dont go through (your message cannot be delivered)

people on comcast seem to be the worst, i get a 100+ms response time from them and if i do a traceroute it seems to be ntl at fault??

hope someone can help shed light on this issue.
