Hi

This is on behalf of a friend of mine who is having major issues and has been for 4-5 days. He's on 2MB and using a Wireless router to share the connection. Connection to PC from router is Excellent (always) and the router is configured correctly (and secure!). Last week, he began noticing that web pages were failing to load and header downloading from USENET was slow. Now the "Robin D Walker" speed test shows speeds between 200k and 700k if he's lucky. After phoning NTL tech support twice and being assured that his connection was 2MB (Which isn't being disputed - just the fact that it isn't behaving like 2MB) he's kind of disillusioned.

After advice from myself, he's removing the router from the equation but still getting issues.

I'm kinda hoping that somebody from NTL will pick this thread up and take a look. He's in the Bolton/Farnworth area (not sure of post code etc...)

I'll be looking at it tomorrow night so will have more info to post if neccessary.

Thanks
