Been bad since the weather last night (50mph winds).

Someone please post the link to the speed test you normally use, so I can show you.

Thats just your download speed via the proxy servers. Its nothing to do with ping times !

Is you connection that is slow or do you have high pings ?

[Death Jester]

Pings are awful.

When I refresh BF1942 servers using All Seeing Eye, they should come up about 20-30 (about 100ms is unplayable for the servers).

Currently, the lowest is 400ms, and the highest is 2000ms

Also VERY slow net browsing

Hi, and welcome to NtHellworld.....

Thats really bad for 600 - do you have any file sharing apps running ? Also, have you scanned for ad-ware / ran a virus check lately ?

No **** sherlock!

Its been bad all day. Ever since the bad weather last night, but it may not be the cause. I tried to unplug my modem, wait and hour, then plug it back in (does that EVER work?!).

Anyone got a suggestion.

(btw - if anyone is following my thread in the Alternatives forum, my mum is phoning BT tomorrow, to get the line, then, with any luck, I can get 1mb, or 512k if not)

[Death Jester]

Ok, it seems to be ok.

I'll post here if it goes wonky again tomorrow.

Thanks for the help!

Amazingly, yes. When NTL put a suggestion to reboot the modem on the TS line, calls dropped by about 20%.
