Broadband, its really bad here, been on tech support for last 50 mins waiting for an answer, so others must be having probs too./
The middle light on the modem keeps flashing and when that happens that isnt good news.

I got through to them and they said nothing is wrong with my line and told me to do a speed test with the speed domain, I got this
tsetdeeps[at]niamod_tsetdeeps
217.35.209.142
1400 - 1900
The speed test has completed on test server speedtester2.nat.bt.com for user 0******and you have downloaded a 1.7Mb file at a speed of
1899 kilo bits per second (Kbps), your service bandwidth will have been quoted to you in kilo bits per second.
Your IP address is 217.47.23.153, your browser is reported as being Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and is running on Windows XP.
BT would regard the speed ranges shown below as normal service:
For 250kbps End Users speeds between 50 - 250kbps. For 500kbps End Users speeds between 100 - 500kbps. For 1000kbps End Users speeds between 200 - 1000kbps. For 2000kbps End Users speeds between 400 - 2000kbps.
You may now disconnect from the speed test account (click `disconnect` in your internet connection window) and if you wish to regain normal access to the internet please re-connect to your ISP using your usual username and password.
Please note that test results may vary according to varying traffic in the network. If you continue to experience slower throughput when logged in to your ISP, this may be due to a slow internet site or high traffic levels beyond the BT Wholesale Network. Please report this situation to your ISP`s helpdesk.
I have ran spyware/virus scans/rebooted modem but its still very slow, anyone give me anything else I should do pls? The `data` light on the modem keeps flashing a lot?
Thnx
