    Ok, well this morning I got up, booted my machine and tried to get on the internet, it was very slow.

    Mind you, I have 1.5mbps DSL.

    Anyways, I left to go get breakfast, I came back home and tried it again, now it loads a page whenever it feels like it, it connects to the BF2 account server but not to an actual playing server, Xbox Live isn't working, it disconnects right after signing on, all the computers on the network are getting really bad internet speeds or non functioning at all.

    I've reset my router, checked my cables, service seems to be up, but my network is all screwy.

    It was working fine yesterday.

    Thanks

    Have you contacted your ISP? Perhaps it's an issue on their end.

    I just used the SpeakEasy internet test and it ran normal, but when it got halfway through the speed starts going downhill bigtime and the test doesnt finish. :(

    I will try the DNS this.
