Having some problems which I have had since beginning of last week. Basically, connection is very intermittent, web browsing can be painfully slow, sometimes pages load in normal time while other times I can be sitting there for ages. Odd thing is that it seems OK with a constant connection to a news/ftp server where I get sustained rates of 80/90k.

I ran the braodbast speed test and all tests appears OK, other then the pack loss tests which were as follows:-

Packet loss en route to a UK server

gold.ac.uk: 4%
cardiff.ac.uk: 8%

Packet loss en route to a European server

univie.ac.at: 6%
sunsite.cdlab-switch.ch: 2%

Packet loss en route to a USA server

unet.brandeis.edu: 2%
rutgers.edu: 6%

Running a netstat -s -p tcp, gets the following:-

TCP Statistics for IPv4
Active Opens = 278
Passive Opens = 2
Failed Connection Attempts = 6
Reset Connections = 114
Current Connections = 12
Segments Received = 23959
Segments Sent = 16291
Segments Retransmitted = 440

Now, to me the packet loss seems a little high here, but I am no expert. Anyone able to shed any light?
