I had to use utorrent to reinstall my cod4 and it starts automatically. If i dont shut it off manually it rates my ping at 999. If it aint something like that than hopefully some of the xi techno whizzes will get back to you soon. Good luck Stool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Wondered if there's a program that could tell me what's going in and out. I use McAffe firewall but it's pretty much not bothered me so i guess there's nothing obvious, unless i've got a nasty thathas sorted it's own permissions i suppose, still after a full AV sweep and an Adaware scan, nothing came back...

I do set aside a bit of my bandwidth for other users - part of my mobile phone deal allows me to have unlimited calls, texts and internet access when it's connected to my wireless router or when i'm in a "Hot Spot" The amount set aside is 256k, and as i live in the middle of nowhere, it's hardly ever likely to be used by anyone else. I checked with my ISP and they said the last time anyone used part of my bandwidth was in 2008. Moaned to my ISP and they've upped my ip profile but the line phsically can't use anymore, i get a 28ms ping to uk servers with a down speed of 3.40mbps max. Boooooo!

I didnt catch if its a cable modem or DSL, DSL should not brown out( weak signal) Cable can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing is that obviously, me paying the bill, i have the best equipment on my rig, so i connect to my "N" type hub via my ring main, as due to the construction and lay out of my home, wireless didn't work for me very well. The other pc's and laptop, ps3, 360, psp, wii etc all connect via wireless. I've run tests on the other machines and they don't appear to have any issues, just that they always seem to have a higher ping rate than me, but i put that down to them connecting wireless and on "B&G". cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As this seems to be a real issue from 1400 - 1800 GMT (which isn't really a peak period) i'll run the resource monitor again during those times to see if anything shows up. I think i'll try it as well when the game is running and with xfire on as well. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you may need it but just turn it off and check your bandwith. Also UNINSTALL limewire. I make more money fixing computers just because of that.

Hey Nut have reset modem enuff times makes no difference. As for a node, i assume you mean an exchange? if so then yes, i'm about 4 miles from it or 1 as the crow flies. however, as this problem has only recently mooned me, i don't think it's a dsl issue. thanks for your input fella.
