Are you having any problems with this 'for Shite' Modem?

Do you not believe in the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it philosophy"?

If trouble were gold, we'd all be rich, because when we look for it we always find it!

no problems i dont think just wondered if the modem was effecting the consistancie of my speed as it slows somewhat between 7-11 at nite tiscali is suppose to be sorting it out.any ideas
thanks

"it slows somewhat between 7-11 at nite"

Do you think there is anyone else on during that time

I know the more people online the slower it makes surfing but i read a article where the guy said his speed never drops.how does he manage this.

I use cable Modem currently at 3Mbs, but there are websites and servers that get periodically very busy and my response..well....sucks....sometimes times out.
