Hi RobD & Ronni

Rob's final suggestion to power off modem and wait 15 seconds produced these 
figures:-

Before modem off   163KBs
After modem back on  290KBs
15 minutes later   282KBs

Can anyone  explain this? It would be an enormous coincidence if congestion 
ceased just then. with only about a minute between tests.

Cheers

John
