Helllooooooo,

I'm in Runcorn in Cheshire and my Net has been dreadfully slow over the last 4 or 5 days. It's happened once before but only for a short period and seemed to clear up pretty quickly.
Now, maybe i'm jus very lucky, but i've never really had any troubles with NTL at all and have always been happy with the service.

But recently it's reeeeally slow. I'm on 600k service. I did a speed test on something and i think it said about normal for d/l (60-70kb/s) , but upstream was awful, about 1kb/s i think.

Now, i did have a virus recently on the PC but thats been eradicated, so i guess i just wanna know if there are any known problems in my area and if so , is there anythin i can do to help my connection.

Its weird cuz online games seem,,,, mmmm, ok. Not too much difference, but programs like Teamspeak are no use cuz my transmissions are garbled...obviously cuz that uses upstream i guess. (i'm a bit of a noob )

Cheers
