I am on a 10 meg connection and have had problems for a while with the speed going up and down and locking up on streaming web sites!
virgin are about a much use as a chocolate fireguard and was wondering if there is a simple way of checking the connection to find the fault.?

If you are downloading a lot it could be virgin although they dont seen to tell you but they do throttle connections mine has been done in the past.It may also lock up on streaming if your downloading or scanning your pc if you are not getting your 10meg

i'm not downloading at the moment while i sort out this problem i't been for a few months and is very irritating i have tried alsorts and am hitting a brick wall. i was hoping to fined some sort of diagnostic software to prove there is a connection error somewhere
