I don't think that has anything to do with the router, just tracert messing up royally.

No offence, but does it matter too much?

[Efour]

well yeah, lol.

Im suffering from crappy speeds and im trying to find any problems before i call NTL.

If this is how cable modems do traces then cool, if its something to do with cacheing, cool. If its some propblem in my house then maybe i can fix it faster.

Take your router out of the equation and see if the poor speeds remain! It's THAT simple!

[Efour]

I say poor i mean 7-8mbit in the UK

When ever I try and dload from offshore eg:USA i rarely get over 100kb/s usually less.

Then thats unlikely to be anything your end.
