OK, I can't solve this one, I have tried using different DNS servers and it just doesn't work, in short, my internet is slow as hell, I can't complete the speedtest.net test (or it takes more than 20 minutes so I can't be bothered to sit there for ages) - it only goes to about 2.33Mbit/s anyway and doesn't complete the download so I don't know about Upload. I can usually hit 7Mbit/s (Because I use an ADSL1 Modem, I get about 12Mbit/s on ADSL2 but it is unstable as hell).

Can't sign into windows live, can't sign into facebook, keep getting logged out of Duke4.net, but my connection remains on, tried reconnecting, even reset my server, no luck.

Anybody else having this issue, if it carries on I will have to rake out the Dial-Up gear again.

Edit: Speedtest.net works if I use the Maidenhead server;

But the speed is jumping all over the place while testing.

I don't bother anymore, but it appears their Dial-Up server doesn't want to listen either, that or my DOS (as-in MS-DOS, not Denian of Service) server doesn't have the correct protocols. I'll give this another 20 minutes, but if it happens again I may just ring them... Anyone got the number for that, I lost my stupid little green book.

Slightly OT, but that book they send with your internet settings in, has anyone else noticed that they state the wrong encapsulation type in that (along with a couple of other things)? lmao.

 Cheesy

Your latency looks high, you sure there isn't anything else on the network using your bandwidth?

Hmm, this issue seems to have cleared itself up, but I'm gonna get that number from the Karoo site in case it happens again.

So, @Ace247; thanks for the link, don't know why I didn't think to check the Karoo site.
@bashdabish; They had the encapsulation as ITU-something but only G.DMT works for me.
@Adrian; Nah, there was very little load on my network at that time, nothing else was using the internet and as for the network itself, it uses a big D-Link DES-1526 switch that can handle way more than would have been running at that time.
