The thing is I dont think this is even a proxy problem.

Switching proxies for me has little effect. Sometimes speed is OK and sometimes it's pants, regardless of proxy. At the same time browsing speed drops I also have difficulty fetching text articles from nntp (Easynews).

When brosing picks up, so does nntp.

I've checked my wireless connecting and there is generally 0% packet loss when things are running OK.

I havent yet run a ping when things are going slow.

In any case I think I'll be getting my BT line installed and going ADSL once I go over T&Cs.
