That looks spot on.

The last couple of days connections here in Immingham have been really slow. I don't know much about the techy stuff but my 150k feels slower than dial-up at the moment. I've tried checking the connection speed with a couple of online tests and came back with 138k-ish but my IE v6 browser seems to be a lot slower than that. Does anyone know of any probs in DN40 area?

[Saul's Grandad]

After finding that my other pc's connection is OK I suspect that the prob is with the computer rather than the connection. Though I am mega ****ed off about the second STB failure in two weeks but that's a different forum Bloody NTL, eh?

Hello, I was about to make a thread then I saw this thread maybe it is similiar to my problem, Well I have 600k NTL broadband and live in Oxford. I have Network on 4 computers. Well the internet has been reallyyyy slow like a dial up, I tried to use other computers on the network but the internet is slow. Sometimes if the internet is not working I unplug the cable modem and plug it again the internet will start working but still slow........
