Connection very slow, why?

roxana

I was browsing this board to find any answers, but it looks like I'm the only one who has a problem with eircom slow connection for the past two weeks.
I'm connected with the yellow cable, didn't change anything in the router from long time, I've checked http://192.168.1.254/ few times (I have
7168/384 (kbps)) and restarted connection, but it didn't help.
My main problem is that I can't really download anything from sites like megashares.com or wupload.com. I know that line can be pretty slow when many users are online, but even on 3am it's lagging or just disconnecting my downloads. Connection is dropping from 600kb/sec to 50kb/sec.
Is there anyone who could help me with that please? What can I do?
Basically it's all fine until I wanna download something bigger than 2mb.
Copied from router page:
DSL Pass
ATM Pass
Ethernet Pass
PPPoE Pass
Authentication Pass
IP Pass

Thanks in advance!

Thx a bunch, just sent you PM.

Are you using free or premium versions of the download sites? The free downloads are usually very slow.

Hi Mark, could I ask you to do the same for me? My broadband with eircom has been so slow lately that it's almost unusable.
