  Here is the bad news, I was just surfing the internet when it started going slow, and after about 5 minutes, just stopped (as you already know the ISP I'm using actually went bankrupt 2 months ago, and I managed to get back on using a few tricks). Well I've just had a bit of a poke around their POP and it appears that everything is up, except the leased line (have tracert from both sides). I know that's provided by demon internet, so I just phone their business tech support, who confirmed a suspected line fault but the bad news, unless someone can give them physical access to the equipment they won't send anyone out to fix it.
So there we have it, a technical fault in the one place I can't get to and no more free 2mbps internet :( Oh well, back to dial up, only about 15 months until we had adsl here :( (on the plus side of things, the sun is out, I'm going for a drive)
