I am having problems with my internet browsing, I looked for help but not knowing what to ask just browsed to here. My problem is this, I can play counterstrike source for hours at a time no probs (Latency 20-27) great, but when i stop playing and go to the internet browsing, no go. Emails also no go. Brother is on ntl and his is fine. I have a fast computer P4 3GHz loads of ram big hdd and a 2mb connection. I looked in this forum and saw some people use newsgroups to download so tried that, it is a bit come day go day but when it works it flies getting stuff at 230kb/s so very happy there but again my internet browser is soooooo slow some pages give the error page with the offer to detect network settings. So frustrating and i am no noob here. Had pc for years built myself and it has run flawlessly with winxp for 2 years and no re-installs i am just blindly hoping is is a prob with ntl but what can i say to tech support. I have AVG anti virus zonealarm firewall all updated all comp scanned defragged disk cleanup adware checked and a connection that runs when it damn well likes. never really had a prob with ntl before so, i don't want to slag them off but this doesn't seem to be a problem for just me. I wonder if playin my game on the internet is getting close to the cap and they are slowing me on purpose.
When some of my web pages actually load there are graphics missing and just little annoying bits. frightened to buy anything online incase pressing the refresh buys me two or three things. AT a loss for ideas and very bored with it all.
