well i am paying for a 2 Meg connection speed!, just done a speed test and i have 0.2 Meg at the moment, it's slower than dial up and it's been this slow for the last month, why?

Same here noticeable between requesting files and downloading and download speed seems slow.

Really quite common...

So many of our customers experience speed issues that are remedied by a reboot of connection equipment!!

One thing worth noting is that you'd be amazed just how many port scanning attacks your router copes with.. it's hardly suprising that they lock up or go slow from time to time!

If in doubt - reboot everything.

If your sure - reboot everything.

If it's broke - reboot everything.

You get the idea...

It is rather embarresing for IT types like us to always trot out the same line - but 9 times out 10 it sorts it...

and the other time it gives you precious minutes to fix the problem at your end and then blame the user next time they call
