First things first pauly

which version of windows are you using?
Do you have a usb or ethernet connection?
Are you sharing the connection?
Do you use any peer to peer software?
Does the problem get better/worse at any particular time of day?
Do you use firewall and antivirus software? if so which?
Have you checked your computer for any spyware?

and ....

Hello and

Tracert is a tool on the command prompt.

Go on Start > Run > (Type in COMMAND.COM) and you are at the prompt.

Then type in TRACERT followed by any URL or IP so basically try TRACERT www.google.com

Do you have a home network with someone else downloading on their computer as this could have affected this. If not then I can recomend Bill C to get it sorted.

PM Bill C he covers Derby area he can take a look and sort this out he works for NTL sorsting out these problems.

He has sorted mine and I would say he is the best one to sort you out.. Just PM him before he goes to bed with your name and address telephone number and it could be sorted tomorrow!
