Rather than start a new thread and because I am clutching at straws now (50k [not a typo] download speeds of an evening) - which VM have said I should expect because the internet "gets busy in the evenings".

I'm on 20meg and my modem is a NTL:250 with a part number E08C007 on the bottom (it's a small black thing). if someone would be so kind just to see if anything stands out before I leave for another ISP out of desperation.

As I say, speeds are appalling - I can sometimes scrape 2meg if I am lucky off newsgroups, but other than that I need to be online at maybe 3-4am to get maybe 10meg if I am lucky.

I don't want to leave but they are giving me no choice, simply doing the usual, reboot the modem routine. Speeds have been falling quickly over the last couple of months. Thanks for looking and hope the original poster doesn't mind me jumping in on this.
