Ok chaps, here's one for you. I'm pulling my hair out!
My broadband is supplied by BT and I get a consistent connection speed of about 6Mbps.
Recently i've noticed my PC seems to struggle on this connection, but all other devices on the network seem to be fine, (2x iPhones, iPad, Mac and MacBook - which are all wireless)
I hardwired my PC to the router many months ago after constant headaches connecting over wifi. A Gigabit Netgear Powerline system did the job.
Now this is the issue:
I can ping (command through cmd) any website and get a nice, constant speedy return of around 50ms, no bother.
But, I'm finding browsing the web painfully slow, and you can almost forget about streaming video, YouTube just fails to buffer a lot of the time. Tried using both Chrome and Firefox, both equally slow.
Now tonight, for the first time in a while I connected to TS anticipating a fun night flying the North Africa campaign, but Teamspeak just went FUBAR. I'd initially connect with a ping of about 50ms, but this would rapidly increase to 500+ also with a stated +-500ms variation. WTF?
The netgear utility confirms the connection to the router is running at about 385Mbps, so it's not the Poweline.
I've not installed any new programs, it's virus free and to be honest it's probably only been turned on a couple of times since I flew last about a fortnight ago when all was well.
I'm stumped.
