Wills1: Scratch that post, Its still very stop start. I go through 3-5 minute periods where nothing will load. Netflix stops on the tv. iPad won't load anything. Looks like I'm doomed with crappy internet.

is your dsl connection dropping now? or is this likely a new issue?

I'm not getting a sync cut, but all devices refuse to load intermittently. even if I change networks and enable the wireless on the vodafone complete router I get the same result.

Test over Ethernet - it could be a possibility local interference can be contributing to the issues.
