bit of a update if anybody is still looking at this...

was on phone to ntl last night with a good bloke rather than one of the **** ones and hes basically determined i am getting massive packet loss, not quite sure where reckons something is interfering with the line because i spent the entire time with the modem plugged right into the phone socket via filter so can't be cable.

anyway there ya go ntl arn't all crap
