Conention hasn't been an issue up until now... I would expect some contention anyway... But going from 185kbps to 13kbps, would say there is something more serious then contention...

As for processes running in the background, I have checked these and also checked for network utilisation and both are fine. Maybe an oversubscribed UBR?... I hope not, otherwise I will be looking elsewhere for broadband...
