Been having connection issues for the past week or so and the only way I can explain it is that it seems to starting a stoping... its still getting data through but causing latency problems in games.

If I que up some downloads in Firefox then will stay on "Starting" for a good 20-30 seconds, never had these issues before and it just seems to be getting worse!

I noticed it more in the evenings which is sometimes expected but its happening all day, everyday.

I rang AOL and they said about the traffic being heavier in the evenings blah blah and I then explained that its slow during the day and morning too, they said this is a known fault and could take 2-3 weeks to fix?

Is this a fob off?

Any suggestions or help would be greatful, I am a phone call away from ringing up and cancelling! We're pay £30 a month for a service that we're no getting.

Thanks :)

It would ;] Unless its a problem with your BT line. Are they putting your on LLU? (can cause slowness + loss of connectivity until its finished)

Im still with AOL as I used to pay £27 all in for the 8meg Platinum. Rang them up asking for a MAC code to leave and they reduced it to £17 ;)

Id suggest you do the same, just make sure your not being put on a new contract and LLU (unless you want it for some reason)

This slowdown has only been here for a week or so and its becomming very irrirating! Thinking of going over to Virgin Media, 20Mb cable line for £23.50 a month!

As for the LLU, what is this exaclty? We've not requested anything to happen and none of our setup has changed?!
