Sudden BT Yahoo speed problem

[kkbigal]

My line was upgraded to 8mb a few months ago and I've been using it at the full 8mb very happily for some time.

However, yesterday my net connection died, and when I got it back, the download speed is absolutely terrible, it's only connecting at 5mb, but speeds are not anywhere near that - web pages load at the speed of a 56k modem.

I've just run a Speedtest.net test and got these results:



My upload speed is completely unaffected, but my download is really struggling.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the links guys but I don't think this is a capped speed issue.

At the moment, my connection can only access specific web sites, all of them slowly.

It's only been bad since I had an outage on Sunday, but the telephone started acting strangely as well - giving single rings every 10 seconds or so.

BT are supposed to be doing a check on the line to see if there's a problem.

If not, can only think it's my Belkin router
