For the past month when it gets to peak times my internet goes real slow. By peak times i mean 7pm - 11pm and at dinnertime. This makes my downloads go to 30 kb tops on a 2meg connection and my ping around 300 on uk servers (Where i Live).

Over the last week or so this is now all the time. Does anyone know whats causing this and what i can do to help.
I have checked my modem by using a friends pc and its fine and other suggestions?

Thanks to all those with helpful posts.
You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else.

Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it

hmmm... I'd call your ISP and comlain. You're supposed to get a dedicated bandwidth with dsl. Cable modem users share bandwidth with their neighbors, that's why I asked.

They blamed Christmas lights on a slow dsl line? hahahaha.

It's time to change the isp.

They know it just turned to October, right?
