I’m sitting here trying to browse the web… but I’m finding it VERY difficult. Its just soo slow for no apparent reason. Rob and I experienced this the other day whilst trying to play Xbox Live.

uTorrent = Off (Was only downloading at 7kb/s anyway :S)
Outlook = Unable to send emails (which is all I want it to do…!)
Limewire = Off
TCP/IP = Optimized for my connection
Ports = Open
Connection = Excellent

Therefore I am convinced that someone in my flat is downloading stuff at uber speeds… and not taking into consideration other people browsing the web.

At least when I do it I limit the upload (main cause of slowing the bandwidth by uploading at the maximum the connection can handle) and the download to 500 kb/s (only 1/4 of my actual bandwidth, and considering there are only 4 of us using it I think that’s more than generous)

Further investigation needed… it seems that no matter how fast the speed, people will hog the bandwidth. The only way to solve this issue is to make the bandwidth soooo fast that the download time is only a few seconds max.

Crap…
