Why is my connection running so darn slow?
Everytime i phone NTL they say some stuff about spyware but i've run 3 different spyware softwares (adaware, spybot and spyware doctor) and my connection is dreadfully slow.
It's like this at all times and has been going on for weeks now. I have ntl digital and that is running fine.
Im in the UK, XP SP2, Running the net through a netgear router using the cable modem (non-stb) then going from the router via ethernet then into a usb adapter. (bear in mind i used to use the usb and the speeds were great still). No firewall although there is the hardware built-in one on the router.
Heres a screencap of a download from my high-speed server (others download off it at the right, great speeds):
I get the same speeds all over from places like download.com and everywhere else.
