ok, first post here :rolleyes:
I live in Manchester, UK and have a broadband connection with BT. 1 or 2 weeks in a month my internet is fine, I am far away from my exchange so usually look at around a 1Mb connection, speed test giving 700-800Kb download with 300-400 upload. Then the rest of the month it looks like this:

this leads to me believing that bt is purposely cutting my download speed. This isn’t a computer related problem, speed test runs similar results on all 3 computers in the house, no bandwith hogging software like torrents are being used.

So basically what i am wondering is, is am i right that the problem is that the ISP’s end? also I don’t seem to be able to get cable connection through virgin media so if i went to another ISP which went through my BT line such as sky, would the problems persist?

Many thanks in advance
