Could be someone in your flat using Bitcomet, it has a bad habit of drowning all traffic even when idle! Ask around your flatmates see if anyone is using it..

I had a similar issue to yours so I changed from Bitcomet to Utorrent and have never had an issue since.

Hey there,

I've had some extremely useful advice from the good folks here in my thread:

http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=66&topicid=90952

Given that I am with Orcon and also getting terrible speeds, I wonder if you've got the same issue as me?

I've laboured for months with this and chatting in here has got me further in one day than the rest combined.

Good luck!
