I'll try this again tomorrow and see if there is any difference in going direct from the modem to my PC. There was'nt when I done this a few days ago, If there is a difference in speed do you have any suggestions on how to resolve it? I know the routers firmware is up to date the configuration is correct.

I just read the openDNS post and have just followed the guide there so I'll see if it makes a difference to my internet performance.

Thanks for replying and for the advice. I'll let you know how I get on.

A quick update. I have just done this

I followed the OpenDNS tutorial and changed the DNS settings on my router.

Was about to shut down for the night and thought I would check again on the download from //gamefiles.virginmedia.com/blueyondergames/b5ifh/ and now I'm getting between 1300kb/sec and 1475kb/sec. Compared to a short while ago that's a great improvement.

Is that OpenDNS making the change?
