Well i bit the bullet and upgraded to a bb modem from rock solid stb connection. I have the upgrade but it is terribly slow. had trouble and had to sort it myself as the bloke that fitted modem couldn't help much. Pc would not release the ip. Laptop worked right away and was geting fast speeds but the desktop pc would not have it at all
Tinkered with every setting i could get at and now it is crawling. but working
Give it til tomorrow see what happens
