That was what I was thinking. Not too sure what I can do about it, though, if that's the case.

remmeber other sites will only give you the speed its servers can handle so remmeber if there server is 10Mb and its busy your gonna expericnce slow speeds

I should probably clarify that sites that used to be fast as of Friday have been appalingly slow, and they all changed at once. I've tried repeatedly throughout the day and night to see if it was congestion and there's no change at all based on the time I try to download.
Here's a set of tracert's to
www.bbc.co.uk, for those so interested:

Been getting those rather odd pings since the problems started. Sometimes it drops packets entirely. It doesn't seem to be isolated to any one point on the route, either, despite what hop 9 on the second tracert would imply.
