I have been with ihug since they were the first ISP to offer unlimited dial-up internet at a fixed price, and I've stayed with them through the change / merge with Vodafone

However, the last 2-3 weeks our broadband internet speed has been so slow it's almost as bad (if not worse) than dial-up was.

We are on a fixed 1gig plan and if we go over our 1gig data limit then the speed will reduce to about dial-up speed, but that's not the problem. as of last night we were only at 4% usage for the month, yet the broadband speed was just soo slow (I actually had time to boil the jug and make coffee as a web page loaded!!!).
Nothing has changed with our computer settings at all, so I don't know why it would be so slow??

Is there a way to see what speed we are connected at?? - with dial-up there was the little icon at the bottom right what you chould click on and that would say 56kbps or whatever - but I don't know how to tell with broadband.....

any help would be much appreciated!
