There are two cables between the stb and the pc. The main one goes from the stb, outside and up the wall, into the bedroom. The second one goes from that to the pc. I've already had an engineer come round, connect his laptop to both ends and proclaim that it was ok. Obviously he wasn't running a p2p app and as i've said, apart from that, it seems to run fine. p2p is the only heavy usage i give it really. Any speed tests always show it to be running at 2 meg.

anyway. do you think that changing the cable from the pc to the wall socket would work or would that be a waste of time/money? I could always ask for a cable modem but on what grounds? and can these handle the coming soon(yeah, haha, i know) 10 meg setup?
