Wow....At 5pm+ xNet gets INCREDIBLY slow. I reinstalled WC3 and I can't even dl the patch. . .It downloads at something like 4kb/sec. Is it SERIOUSLY suppose to be this SLOW? Or is it something on my end I'm doing wrong?
Here are my router settings. I Don't know much about routers and broadband so I'm just putting down everything I see jsut incase I've done something else wrong as well. Also when I first got xNet like 3 months ago it wasn't anywhere close to this slow...10kb dl's....

No I'm not on wireless but the laptop is so don't blame or the wireless ^^;;

EDIT: I know about offpeak time etc and I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be THIS slow...

Xnet have had international performance problems for near on 11 months due to oversubscription and lack of traffic management, my advice is change ISP.

Shouldn't this be under WXC/Xnet thread? (I suspect a mod might move it there soon).

If you read in there you'll find half a dozen threads like this which you could add your 2 cents worth to :)

If you don't change direction you will end up where you are headed

Ya I'm hearing alot of good things about Telecom but the thing is I jsut changed over form iHug 2 weeks ago and my brother is paying for it with automatic payment and I don't want to hassle him again about it because hes always busy. So this sucks for me....
