The livebox is a modem/router in one but it's input is via an RJ11 cable which I plug into the microfilter. The microfilter goes into the wall which is an RJ45. It's a UK thing.
Yeah a packet loss tool would be cool.
OK here's what I've done (and no change in speed):
- removed wireless connections.
- turned off wireless.
- disabled firewall on router AND in windows.
- turned off anti-virus.
- check MSconfig: only 4 things running and I know what they all are, none are using the internet.
- only app running is IE6, running these tests.
- tried another microfilter.
- tired another phone socket.
- turned off and on the livebox.
- turned off and on the PC.
- pulled my hair out.
that's it for now.
I'm getting stinky low download speeds of 50Kish per sec from my site www.greyaliengames.com and also from reflexive (actually worse sometimes). It starts well like at 200K per sec (what it should be) and quickly plummets to 50K or worse (sometimes better) per sec.
