I have been having internet trouble for several weeks. My home network has been getting slower and slower, culminating in a whopping .40 Mbps on Friday. My SO's computer got a wiped (it was running Vista with no SPs). My laptop was still running slow. I thought I had caught something from her computer. I borrowed a netbook from work for the weekend. Even on the netbook, I was getting no speed. I plugged the netbook directly into the cable modem and instantly saw a problem. The modem was turning off and on it's connection every half second. My router was covering up this fact, displaying the network as steady on and sending packets when it could. A trip out to Southridge and a new modem at home, and suddenly I had 5 Mbps. It felt so weird to be without internet at home, but able to still access basics (like BF.net, weather, etc) on my Blackberry.
