That's horrible, Ron! Much worse than David Lord reports. It makes me
want to ask a number of questions:
- is this PC connected over wireless or wired?
- what else is going through the router? Someone else downloading large
files or using streaming audio or video?
- who else might be sharing your connection?
- what type of service do you have? Presumably not dial-up! But what
speed?
- having checked you speed, would you describe your connection as
"stable"?
The quiet periods (e.g early Monday morning, Tuesday lunchtime) are much
nearer to what I would hope for, which makes me wonder whether something
is interfering with the connection outside those times.
Cheers,
David
