All checked out now.

I tried a reboot of the CM before doing anything and was able to get much better speeds right away. I then tried the PC's own ethernet card ( normally used to share the connection to another PC) and it seemed much more stable than the USB connection, not surprisingly.

However running a speed test or downloading a file I noticed that the connection seems to drop occasionally. You can be downloading a file and it gets to about half way, then all activity stops for about 30 seconds or so and then it resumes. This happens whether it's USB or ethernet. It also happened on my laptop so it's not the PC. Would this be the modem or the line?

Meanwhile I've advised them to get an ethernet card as it's definitely better than the USB.
