You sound like you've had EXACTLY the same experience that I've had!

I'm on Vista and netstat showed lots going on too, but I am convinced no spyware on my laptop. Traceroute gave lots of asterisks and timeouts, it would take multiple refreshes to load a webpage and downloading anythin was out of the question.

My connection has been deteriorating since about May 1st, very unstable, with download speeds getting as low as bytes per second, before it actually ground to a total stop on Sunday afternoon with modem ethernet light gone off.
Unplugged modem and left it off for two days and now it's miraculously working perfectly...

Can this be a concidence?
