Probably not a Vista issue but you never know...
To cut a very long saga short, I lost my BB connection at 0130hrs Thursday. My ISP (Nildram) told me that BT had been carrying out 'some work' and that normal service would be resumed by morning. Morning came and still nothing so I phoned again. I was then given the runaround for neary three days while they "tried" to get to the root of the problem. It turned out that they had switched from PPPOE to PPPOA and hadn't bothered telling anyone...
Service resumed.
However, my download speed is now a maximum of 200kbs (0.2 Mbps) and typically around 30kBs where it should be around 4Mb - and they can't find a reason.

• BT say the line is ok
• Ping and tracert checks seem fine (avg of 22ms).
• Router control panel reports speed as 4Mb +/-
(Should I be on a Public or Private Network? (Currently Public))
Anyone have scooby what could be wrong here?
Router is Netgear DG834 v3 - all drivers up to date
Netgear contol panel, MTU size is currently 1458.
