Hi all.

First post on here.

Thought I'd ask this before contacting Sky. Every time I am downloading a file directly or through a site like Megaupload etc it just freezes and I have to pause and then restart, in some cases I can't re-start as it says the source file cannot be read.

I didn't used to have this problem. Also when watching a video on YouTube etc it freezes midway and I have to restart or move the progress bar to get it to start again.

I have Sky Unlimited so I'm not sure why this has started happening. I have changed the Microfilter on the socket and I am connected by ethernet cable.

Thanks for any advice.

Your noise margin and sync speed are a bit low which could cause problems, plug into you test socket and take the stats from there. Use only the ADSL cable supplied by Sky.

Thanks...I'll try it later.

I have the PC in a different room so use a longer Ethernet cable but I have always had it that way and it is only recently that this has happened.

This is the stats through the test socket.

I also get the same stopping problem if I use my laptop via wireless so the problem can't be the cab;e from the router to my PC.

Can anyone help with this?
