Pings to some servers are bad also.

Had to add a proxy for the first time last week - lost all connectivity, not sure if this has something to do with the problem :erm:

Web browsing is like swimming through treacle too. its a little wierd because usually when web pages are slow, my download speed tests are usually ok.

Watching spiderman on cable tv, keep getting long pauses and breaks in picture and sound too, if its all connected and is affecting as many areas as a scan in the forums seems to say. Something is very very poorly.
