I have a router wired to my PC and wired to my mum's PC. My sister connects her laptop via wireless. Our ISP is Newnet and i've set up all PCs to use OpenDNS.
Recently the internet on my mum's PC has just been going through periods of going dog-slow. I turned it on now to have a look and it was fine, then all of a sudden nothing would load. The everything would just go really slow. Occasionally Windows would popup a message saying the cable has been disconnected
I've tried a different ethernet cable, into different ports on the router and it still happens. Right now i just did some tracerts to the BBC and to Googlemail (which she uses).
It's very odd. Here's her results (from when it's been playing up):
And here's mine which are fine.
We're both going through the same connection on the same router, so i really dont understand this Let alone why it's just started! And those tracerts were taken within moments of each other, i.e. when hers is bad, mine is fine.
EDIT: And just now trying to edit in her tracerts from her PC, it just got completely stuck submitting the edit, about 5 times in a row. And the silly message saying a network cable is unplugged came up too
