i have changed our DNS to OpenDNS and web pages do load alot quicker.

When i go to speedtest.net though I only get 10-15meg download. I use to be seeing number in the high 40's!

Do a speed test in Maidenhead (the recommend one for me) and I get about 10meg, Just done the Lodon one got about 38meg.

Im in Devon, Where are you to?
Your the 1st person I have come accross with the exact same problem as me.
I,m in Warrington, and speedtest,s have been naff from Maidenhead for 4 to 5 days approx, but previously i was getting over 50 meg down, and even well over on a number of ocassions.

I,m wondering if the people on the new docsis 3 network are for some reason being routed differently, who knows.

Ive not got the technical know how to find out

I noticed i couldnt host on cod4 the other day, there were 8 in the lobby and it kicked everyone out, although shortly after that my connection dropped completely and was down for about 20 minutes or so.

Ive not tried since though so dont know if it was an isolated incident, but the last time i played on cod4 it was garbage, but on ps3 on cod 5 its fine most of the time, just with the odd hickup, last night though i had loads of trouble trying to find games, and my friends not being able to join my lobby, so i just gave up in the end and went on free for all.

its been suggested that because the 50 meg is so new that your going to get the odd time when it missbehaves, i just hope this is in fact a direct result of some network tweaking and not a shape of things to come.
