Re: Trouble in broadband land.

I'd downgrade to 4mb if I was you - it seems to be more consistent

Re: Trouble in broadband land.

By the way the bad speed is not down to my PC. I was getting 10mb most of the day yesterday.

Is there anybody from NTL that can explain why broadband is so slow at night. I am in the Nottingham area.
