Having blamed BT & my server, & removed & replaced all filters and internal telecom wiring - by deduction i discover for certain the problem is my Netgear 834GT Router-Modem. I have spent hours mailing their helpline and waiting days for their varied ideas as to how i might reset and reconfigure the unit. Even in the early days when it would except being reconfigured - within a day or two my connection would dwindle to almost nothing.......like 0.125meg!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At this time i am using an old Voyager 105 that at least keeps the 8meg line sensitive service opperational, but is not much use as it is has no wireless facility.

As a footnote, for any techy out there that may no the answer - i suspect the problem i'm having is that the Netgear creates a line attenuation of 43dB - whereas the Voyager between 36 - 37dB!?!?!

Any Ideas?
