It's like it'll be completely fine and the suddenly nothing will load and it'll last for around 10mins. What's going on?

So annoying when trying to play Diablo 3.
 
I've seen this a lot latley not with D3 just browsing, one thing I noticed my work VPN was seizing all my upload virtually so if you have a VPN running I would check that.

Also I did hear over on the D3 forums that the D3 netcode communicates similar to P2P connections and some ISPS have those downgraded in priority soit might affect your latency.

Is it only D3 or other applications that are affected?

Nah, i don't have any VPNs. Nah it's everything, like i said, webpages won't load at all or be really slow for about 5-10mins and then it's fine. I didn't bother me before, but now i'm trying to play Diablo 3 it's something i need to somehow sort out if possible.

Wired.

Cheers for the responses so far guys.
 
Oh is it? Awesome. Will give them a call in a bit then.

Did they mention what the problem was?

And how long did it take to fix it?
 
So they told me to disconnect my landline on the ADSL filter for 2 hours and they'll ring me back in the next 24 hours.

That means i can still use the internet though so i don't know what they are looking to monitor with no interruptions. It's the internet, not the phoneline thats ****ed.

I need a new ISP anyway. BT charge us far too much but i don't know what's good these days.
 
Sorry for triple post. My internets being that slow at the moment i can't even load a youtube video or anything - could that be down to whatever they're fiddling with?
 
South Wales area. My old girls computers comes up with some locked wireless alternatives - my PCs wired though and i don't have a wifi card.

Not like that. I meant a wireless broadband isp so you wouldn't be connected via adsl but via a wireless hub probably on the highest point then can mount it on your property :D

But not enough info to go off to have a search if you'd have that type of provider.
 
Indeed, his only other choices are Sky (the better one in this instance) or TalkTalk. I would think that with the low population density over there, the other providers aren't seeing a market case to enable that exchange.
 
:(

FFS, looks like no Diablo 3 for me tonight. How long does it take to switch providers anyway, and do they all send you a free router?

I swear my internet is going at like 4kb/s a second or something.
