never had a problem with my internet until a few months ago. Now, it's soooo slow. I can't watch anything without constant streaming....it can take 20 minutes to watch a 2 minute video clip.

Got a new lappy, intel i3, 6 megs of ram, and also a reletively new router. Im with sky and im getting 0.1mb upload and 0.2 download.

Many thanks
