:confused:Hi all,

I am trialling a 20mb broadband in Reading, Berkshire.

After a week I can conclude the connection is awful. At first it had spurts of very fast connectivity but after 3 days it deteriorated significantly.

Not only is it erratic on the slow side (less than 5mb is the norm), it jitters when using java games (Yahoo Backgammon of example).

Anyone got similar issues in similar area? Got any solutions?

I also have an 8mb Plusnet ADSL connection on my other PC. Plusnet used to be reliably fast but in the last 2 months it's been awful. I've tried testing the line and changing the hardware but to no avail.

Thanks
