yep, as Ignition said
I remember having a lousy connection, yet my mate 4 streets away had no problems at all
actually my connection (2 mb) is miss behaving again, has been for a while, but under the present circumstances I realise it won't suddenly get better overnight.
My online gaming has stopped for a while (I even spoke to the wife a couple of times last week
) .... and I'm getting used to having to refresh pages to get them to load
downloads are OK (no P2P or Torrents - just updates & game demos etc)
Definately not worth the hassle of changing ISP because sooner or later it will get sorted.
