sounds like your connection is choked
are you running any torrents?do you have norton 360 on your machine?i ask because i am trying it at the moment and have noticed a definite lag in connection it's usually cleared by resetting my adapter

[Martyn]

no torrents no norton... it was ok yesterday.... nothingh has been altered or installed..

are you using a router?if yes then try connecting direct to the modem and check your speed using http://www.speedtest.net/ if thats ok disable your av/firewall software then do the same test (do the test 3 times as it can take a couple of mins to build a connection up)you can also change the channel on your router if used as interference from phones can screw things up

it's a bit of a pain i know but i find that the easiest way to solve these probs is to start at the router an eliminate each piece of hardware/software as you go
