AH THANK GOD!!!!!!

Someone else is getting the same crap as me. I'm in Luton and I game, but lately it has been completely pointless. It so wierd...'some' downloads I get what I should for a 2mb connection (about 245kb a sec) but most sites and downloads I'm getting less than dial up speeds. Your link for example, 1.28kb a sec. I had TWO engineers around my house on wednesday trying to find out what the problem is...they were here for over an hour, gave me a new modem and were playing around with the settings but theyre best guess was that there was a problem with the hub, that feeds my area. So, a repair team was sent to it earlier today to fix it, but I'm still getting the same crap. Could you guide me through what you did to get web browsing back to normal speeds please?

Also, my connection keeps locking out. Even though all the lights stay on on the modem, I have to unplug it and turn it back on again to get connected. This happened with my old modem as well as my new one. Any thoughts on why?
