[QUOTE="LaressaS, post: 1430964, member: 361162"] 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 [/QUOTE]
