I assume that you mean you used to be able to download at 900KB/s. That would defiantly mean an 8128kbps sync. Using Global servers may be the problem, they may have had some problems or you were using an international server. Test you speed here:
Namesco BroadbandMax ADSL Broadband Bandwidth speedtest | Test your ADSL Broadband connection speed
Hook your Router to the test socket, connect it to the socket at the back of the faceplate. I have written this article about improving you broadband speed. Click
here to go to it. Only do it up to where it tells you to remove the faceplate. When you are at that stage, get you Sky TV box's phone modem cable and plug your router directly into the the test socket.
Go into the router setup at 192.168.0.1 and username and password is admin & sky unless you changed it. In there you should get a figure called 'DownStream Connection Speed' post that back here or PM me with it, also there will be a button at the bottom at the router page called 'Show statistics ' post them as well. The put everything back together and go and plug it into your normal socket socket with filters and do the same thing you did at the test socket, by going into the router setup page and getting the figures.
One other thing to check is your phone line. Switch of you modem but don't disconnect it from the wall. Dial 17070 from your phone and press option '2' for silent test. You should hear nothing at all, total silence. Wait a few sec's if the line
IS silent then switch on the router and wait till it has connected to the internet, all the lights come on. If you get a buzzing noise on the phone line now, then one of your microfilters has gone. If the line remains silent then read the rest of my long article. If you have done everything and the problem is there, then something is wrong on sky's/BT's side.
