>what kind of "mucking" could cause such kind of >behaviour?.
this kind of problem did occur to me several times with NTL (http://ntl.com/) in UK... there were installing a Universal Shared Bandwith Router in their CO (Central Office), after they installed this piece of sh*t, the bandwith was throttled from 5.00pm evening to 5.00am morning, which was to slow down users from downloading large files i.e. Music Sharing and such.... but after 5.00am, it was all fine and back to 85.0KBps when before 5.00am and after 5.00pm was around 12.0KBps which is sad but was true for a while till users complained about it... (like me)... so that is a possibility, or it could be that the signal you are receiving (cable modem signal) is very weak.... thats a possibility too... =Hiten =<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ===== -Hiten, Thank You, Yours Sincerely, Hiten Pandya, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.geocities.com/hitmaster2k> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
