Hi all , 1st post here but a long time reader of the forum
Anyway, I live in Newtownabbey and im having the same problem with my speeds , just like Ciaran etc. Im on a 20mb package (£37 a month!)and i only switch the pc on after 7.30pm , so i dont download anything which would enable me to get throttled. I only play online games like COD4 and Battlefield 2. Over the last few weeks my ping has went up from 20-30 on servers to 90-140. Total lagsville.
Not sure what info you guys need but heres what it says in my modem config etc , any help would be great! Im on Vista 64 Ult and its spyware/virus free.
