Which ISP next?

Migrated away from F9 a couple of months back and eventually ended up with Eclipse - woo and yay I thought - No more annoying problems.

Except thats not true

Absolutely dire speeds at random times (day and night) are making my father and I rather infuriated...(slow as in: 17.7MB in 30 mins from a nildram server :/)

Since we are on a monthly contract we are now looking to get out ASAP - It's really that bad

Who do you guys reccomend? Don't really want to pay more than the 29.99 Eclipse are already taking if at all possible and ADSLMax would be preferable

I'll have some more stats in a bit when I return from getting my car MOT'd but having done some tests on the BT SPeedtest last night I am somewhat concerned.

Off the top of my head (I have pics as well so I shall pot those later) the results were:

~400kbps
~80kbps
~394kbps

Rather slow :/

Currently they won't as I have just had the re-grade to 8mb and they refuse to log any line faults for 10 days :/

Shhhh

Your ruining my bad mood

Just gonna hoover out the car and then get some router stats for you to check over too

router stats:

(Netgear DG834GT)

done 6 speed tests since last night:

405kbps
87kbps
394kbps
1361kbps
1755kbps
1119kbps

However even though they got better web browsing and dowloads are still completely goosed :/

It has only just reconnected at 7MB as well. Previously I had this:

Can the Noise Margin be influenced in any way by me? Or is it all up to the router?
