Hi all,

My broadband was slowing down somewhat and i swapped to virgin 10meg cable which is faster but i am still getting the same special problem sometimes.

It is most common in outlook, but happens in internet explorer often as well. Everything appears to freeze for a good 30 seconds or more. So i do a speed test and it says 8-9 meg....

I just ran a speed check today and got a VERY interesting result which i do not understand. Yes it came up and said 9 meg download speed.

Then it said testing upload speed and NOTHING happened at all for about a minute. Finally it got going and went up to about half a meg which is fine for upload.

This i think perfectly identifies my problem, at odd times i am getting ZERO bandwidth and then back to normal. I thought this was a contention ratio problem on the pipex ADSL but I am getting the same problem on virgin cable.

Different technology, different routers etc. Anyone have any idea what causes this??

I am using a pc with windows Vista

I am running AVG anti virus

I can't think of anything else that could be causing this/
