    Default Broadband speed problems

    I've suddenly gone down to 0.3 Mb/s and my ping (whatever that is) is now 90. Think it was 60 before.

    Have checked for spyware etc- nowt

    What could it be?

    My guess would be that you are with Virgin and have exceeded their ludicrous fair usage daily amount.

    I'm with Sky and they haven't previously throttled me back. I haven't watched any porn but I have watched a game on flashsports streams,hardly enough to hit fair use policy.

    Are you on the free sky package or Sky connect?
    The full sky package is the only domestic BB Service that has no download cap. However if you are not in a Sky LLU exchange area and can only get sky connect then what you have got is a re-badged version of BT BB and they will throttle you if you go over their 100Mbit cap in any one month. The cap lasts for a month.

    Try powering off & powering on the router &/or whatever the adsl equivalent of the cable modem is.
