With the complete 4mbit service you'll max around 490k/sec so I wouldn't be that worried with your speeds currently.

No you aren't he's talking about the 2Mbit service is talking about kilobits per second all the way through his post not kilobytes. He went from 1700kbps+ to 350-500kbps.

go to run and type cmd to enter command prompt and type the following:
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

Blueyonder i was once told by helpful support person are not allowed to give this out because its a fix for a microsoft error. They would rather run ya thru ipconfig...netstat...etc
If you installed any updates to yr OS (sp2 is major culprit) a give away is long delay releasing ip number, dhcp service not responding to yr instruction to stop and yr ip beginning with 169, also internet works after restart for maybe a few mins.
these things indicate winsock corruption and the above command will solve that.
My connection was repaired (for third time in a year with this command and ive sorted a few pc's with same issue) over the weekend despite BY passing the buck to microsoft.
Fair enough i suppose but it wouldnt hurt to let people try it.
AND you have used the instant support tool havent ya? That will report DNS errors etc, however you need the disc as the link is broken too it on the website!heh

does the lack of resonse mean this was the problem...
has anyone else simply typed the winsock reset command in when all else had failed?
