[QUOTE="spiney, post: 212343, member: 192438"] The ADSL modem should have it's own monitoring software (in Windows control panel? Or, a desktop icon? Depnds on particular software provided, and how installed!). That should be able to tell you whether the speed problem is the connection between your own modem and the one the other end of your phone line, in the phone exchange. It that's fine, then it's "bandwidth throttling" somewhere in your providor service (maybe everyone is simultaneously connecting to [URL="http://www.americafree.tv"]www.americafree.tv[/URL] ?). But, if it's the local modems, then yes check your own wiring. At 8Mbits/s, that can make quite a difference. Any phones on the line, or whether CAT5 has been used if indoor cable's a long one. (Also - just possibly - electrical interference form other devices?). [/QUOTE]
