0,1 Mbps upload... This is really small. If there is a process that is uploading with 50Kbps (=0,05Mbps), you will loose HALF of your download. And 50Kbps is achieved really quickly. With this, I would kill any application that might use the internet, like email. Anything less then 10Mbps down / 1Mbps up would not even be considered by me. > Another (real odd) possibillitu would be: Someone has > hijacked my DSL modem (its no router) - its an older > Fritz! box. That's always possible. But unless there is a massive DDOS going on right now, I don't think that would be of any use. Do you use a network cable or wireless during tests? -- Joost
