I am with Pipex and have had excellent speeds until last week when I first noticed this weird problem.
When first booted, the connection is around 5meg and progressively slows down the longer I use the connection until after an hour it is sub dial up
speed.
I have changed the DNS server numbers but it has made no difference, I live 400yards from the exchange, no virus found by AVG or any online checkers,
regcleaner has cleaned, I don't know what to check next.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Mark
Sounds like an equipment problem at either your end or the exchange, I had something similar just over a year ago it was the card at the exchange took
a long to get it fixed, it was only after the voice line also went down that I managed to get it fixed.
To prove it you will need to try another router.
