i have been having the worst connection i have ever had the last few days and io have no clue as to why.

I notice it mostly when trying to play BF2, it can take ages to sign in, sometimes it doesn't, then if i sign in it can load a game but straight away i loose my connection to the server, or just get the worst lag ever whilst palying the get kicked from server.

Also i can be noticable when just surfing the net, like checking hotmail can be slow sometimes and then be fine. I know my brother was usinsg some Azarus i think its caled download thing, which i thought was it at first but i still get the problem even when thats not on.

I have run ad-aware and spybot thinking maybe i had loads of spyware or something but that comes back with nothing.

i can be talking on skype and my connection just goes, though it takes a few moments to tel me, and i have to unplug replug the network cable

I am on a home network with 5 other computers. ISP is NTL. I tihnk its 10mb one we got, its like one of there best ones so im sure that wouldn't be the problem

Can anyone reccomend anything i can do to try and sort this? Like there was a interent speed tested once before posted here but i cant remeber it. Also any software i can try to see if its my pc or the interent such as hijack this? (dont know what that does, provides a lot of information thought someone would see the problem from that?)

thanks all
 
got utorrent, changed some stuff e.g changed to static ip on my pc but can't do some of the pcs, isthat a problem?

dont understand what utorrent does though?

also i found out that my mum and older brother is having the same problem
 
well the guy suggested it, thought that it was some software that sorts of limits etc to each person and does it well lol guess i was wrong.

Well it did do good as far as i can tell as it told me how to change me IP to static IP and it seems to be all good so far. Will try and do this on as many PC's as im allowed.

I can't unplug the net on the other peoples computer as they would flip and may be downloading as far as i know.

Anyways thanks to everyone who has conributed. Will post back if problems persists
