I'm finding that websites are opening slowly, so I guess it's a call to tech support in the morning. In the meantime, is there anything obvious I can be doing to save time? So far I've checked for spyware, ran an AV check, unplugged the cable to allow the pc to search for my IP address, rebooted and defraged, all to no avail. Is there anything else I should be doing? Anything obvious I have missed?

I'm connected through a cable modem and this problem seems to have developed overnight. I haven't changed anything on my pc and "Broadband Medic" (which doesnt seem to be much kop, quite frankly) tells me there is no problem with my connection.

I'm not averse to calling NTL support but why waste their time if I can fix it myself and I've always found them to be a bit "hit and miss"...depends who you get to talk to I guess.
