I had a chat with a friend who's pretty much a pc techician, id rebooted the modem a couple of times. turns out for the last 3 years since ive had broadband from ntl/virgin id been using the USB cable from the modem to my pc. USB i think only goes upto about 6MB (or in that region), so i changed USB lead for Ethernet lead and it fixed the problem hehehe (oops)..never ever thought about using the spare ethernet lead i had as was always getting a steady 4MB..learn something new everyday lol..
