Hello Folks

Yes another speed issue post, i do apologize, but i need advice.

For the last 5 days my speed has been going down and down and down.

I am on 10mb (Supposed) and have a Ntl Home 120 Modem.

My speeds on usenet are pathetic getting 100kb/sec and sometimes not even that, ive tired different programs and different ports and servers with no luck.

I've also tested my speed online, general surfing seems fine however downloading is not, i've been to 3 linux sites and tried downloading each of their files. Always chosing nearest location and i'm getting about 200-300kb/sec.

Trying the speed test online via this forum i'm getting

1st try:
Sun, 08 Jan 2006 20:13:57 GMT
1st 512K took 684 ms = 748.5 KB/sec, approx 6168 Kbps, 6.02 Mbps
2nd 512K took 919 ms = 557.1 KB/sec, approx 4591 Kbps, 4.48 Mbps
3rd 512K took 736 ms = 695.7 KB/sec, approx 5733 Kbps, 5.6 Mbps
4th 512K took 1299 ms = 394.1 KB/sec, approx 3247 Kbps, 3.17 Mbps
Overall Average Speed = approx 4935 Kbps, 4.82 Mbps

2nd try:
Sun, 08 Jan 2006 20:19:57 GMT
1st 512K took 1276 ms = 401.3 KB/sec, approx 3307 Kbps, 3.23 Mbps
2nd 512K took 802 ms = 638.4 KB/sec, approx 5260 Kbps, 5.14 Mbps
3rd 512K took 652 ms = 785.3 KB/sec, approx 6471 Kbps, 6.32 Mbps
4th 512K took 651 ms = 786.5 KB/sec, approx 6481 Kbps, 6.33 Mbps
Overall Average Speed = approx 5380 Kbps, 5.26 Mbps

Any suggestions, or am i forced to go call NTL yet again.

I am running a router, and even trying without it the results are the same.
I had the router when the upgrade happened and got full speeds, so i don't think it could be the router.

I am running OSX, latest version for MAC.
All updates.

No new software or hardware installed recently that could have affected my speeds. No viruses found or spyware.
