My connection quality seems to be detiorating.
It downloads webpages in small bursts, then stops, then starts.
Some online games are laggy, others aren't because of this.
Is it something on my computer, or a case for NTL to sort out?
It doesn't seem to affect when I download files, so could it be a problem with Internet Explorer?
Any help muchly appreciated.

sounds like its not your computer... It probably is NTL, although it may not it could be ther servers at the other end oof the pipes... You can ony get stuff as fast as it is spat out so if something isnt spitting it out fast enough.....
During its times of slowness, is it every webpage...? Or are there a few in particular that it seems to be slow with... The fact that some of your stuff works fine but others dont seems to suggest its nothing to do with you....
check with NTL, ive seen it lots of times (i think NTL have just got on lots of new cusomers) that these sort of connection issues happen during a time where the user base has outgrown the ISP's capacity and fast and nasty plans have to be made to retrn performance back to what it used to be... of course theyd never tell you though....

Waited until October, and I got through to the call centre staff after 30 minutes.
I've managed to install my Ambit modem (NTL) on Windows 98se and XP.
Has anyone managed to do it on 95? I've got USB working, but its still isn't picking up the modem. I feel that I've missed an update or service pack for Windows 95.
