Afternoon All,

Wondering if anyone can help me.

Since yesterday morning I have noticed my 50MB internet connection acting a little odd.

General browsing activity is very slow but it is very intermittent. Websites / clicked links can take a long long time to go anywhere.
I have also noticed that uploading files is very slow.

I have run speed and ping tests and both came back fine.
I am running a continued ping –t test to various sites and notice the odd time out but nothing major perhaps 1 in 15 are timeouts.

I would of ignored it but browsing the web is kinda useful J

My VOIP phone also seems to be affected
Skype is fine
Iphone /ipad /laptop /pc all have same issue when browsing
Nothing has changed software wise
Tried 2 different routers
Tried connecting direct to modem via PC.

In short whatever browse I try just seems to hang there thinking about it and then maybe displays half a page as if it can’t load the rest yet sometimes it will be fine.

The upload is the odd bit - my upload speed doing a speedtest is fine (around 4.80) yet sending a file via skype or ftp is very slow nearly 7 hours for a 20mb file also i just noticed my email outbox full of emails i thought i had sent. Something is going on here
Any ideas?
