Hey guys, this has been seriously bugging me!
Well I'm on an 'up to 12 MB' broadband connection with BT, using a router, internet always connected and it's connected in my room upstairs. It's been running at around that speed until last night.
I honestly don't know whether it's just a coincidence that this guy was fixing our Sky downstairs (which involved phone sockets). While he was there the internet went off and came on again a few seconds later, but I didn't notice any drastic difference in the speed because I wasn't using it much that night.
Today I got back and it's extremely slow! I did a speed test online and it averaged out at 124 kb/s! That's sooo not right. So anyway, I did a virus scan with AVG, Spybot, etc... Found nothing, cleaned the registary, did all of those nifty tricks you can do and it hasn't changed a bit. The only thing I haven't done is ring BT because I don't think they're working right now, but can you guys suggest anything at all?

Thanks! Any help would be severely appreciated! :P
 
Yeah , the guy who posted before me is right.
The idiot cable guy didn't know wtf is an internet DSL cable.
 
Sounds like the Sky installer didn't know you had DSL and connected the box to your phone line without a filter.
