It's under the control of the ISP, and it can go back slowly so that it's not noticed right away, OR in same cases the ISP just doesn't care. It's something that many users don't understand, so they don't complain as much and often blame the problem on their own computer. It's only one possibility, but it's an easy one to check and fix. Other problems could be involved too, or by themselves.

Thanks again Bud I will give a try If it doesn't solve the problem I can always go back to the previous router settings Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > It's under the control of the ISP, and it can go back slowly so that it's > not noticed right away, OR in same cases the ISP just doesn't care. > > It's something that many users don't understand, so they don't complain > as much and often blame the problem on their own computer. > > It's only one possibility, but it's an easy one to check and fix. > > Other problems could be involved too, or by themselves.
