My brother lives in the county and has no problems with his connection, I am in central Leicester in a high density residential area, wherein lies the problem I believe. At least 4meg will be consistent, so I suppose it was worth the tenner to find out if it was my settings.
Of course thats in addition to my modem being crap and old
