I have recently upgraded to 8 meg BB with BT, however when trying to download large files, browsing the net, or playing online games, I have noticed that the connection speed slows dramatically, and sometimes stops altogether.
I'm having to use a download manager with a 'resume' function to complete large downloads, and online gaming is impossible as the game just freezes when the connection is lost.
I am currently using a Netgear router/firewall - it is a few years old ... could this be the issue ??
A BT engineer came to test the telephone line, and it is working fine. All cables, filters and connectors have been replaced, and the problem remains. I have only had this problem since my service was upgraded to 8 meg, before that, it was fine.
BT have been no help at all regarding this matter !!
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
