What do you mean can't get in to your router settings.

If you mean to your normal 192.168.0.1 set up screen may be your router is on the way out.

It would explain things grinding to a halt.

Could also be a PC related issue as well as a problem with the router. We would need more info to know where the problem lies.

Re: Is this a joke?

I came from BT to sky, worst thing i ever did. It takes a minute to get from one page to the next on ebay, thats what i mostly use the computer for. Is sky broadband run by clockwork? if so, then the main spring has broken. I have told all my friends to avoid sky broadband.

Re: Is this a joke?

If you actually posted what the issue was, post your attenuation, synch and SNR stats from the router and told us how you are connecting, what is on the telephone line and if any extension are in play people may actually be able to help you.
