Getting really fed up now. The speed issue is a joke
It is up and down more than a lift !! now getting less than 100kbs on a 20 MB connection then it spikes up to 5 MB !! (wooohhhh) and sometime up to 9Mb for a few seconds. I know the ubr is over subscribed but this is terrible, I have tried a phone call to tech support but after unplugging my router etc... They claim no problems, as the speed went up slightly !! (and that was during the day). Even trying to set up newsgroups on my pc to send a message to tech support on that is taking ages (now been 3 minutes and got to f's on the list !!)
Any ideas of what to do next.... ?? apart from move ISP ?? :0
The net is quicker on my 3G card than my cable modem at the moment !
I have tried changing my router to a WRT160N, which is running the DD-WRT firmware as well... NO Difference. Go direct to cable modem.... NO Difference
**** Cable downstream (engineer has now been out 3 times because of this, when he left last time the power level was 0 and has gradually dropped.... ***
