    Try EsatClear as a isp, it has better routers to some of mainland uk and is cheaper, also it might be your modem, if its a HCF Winmodem or another software modem.

    The only winmodem that is a exception is the LT (Lucent Technoligies) modem which is decent - i have one smile.gif.

    It might also be you connecting to Indigo at too high or too low a rate, as sometimes I connect at 31.2k which gives 220 odd ping or over 46k which gives immense packet loss..

    Yeah, there are a couple of things you need to check in your config, like snaps, cl_maxpackets, rate etc.
    I think its usually
    snaps 20
    cl_maxpackets 30
    rate 2500-3000 for a modem

    What make of modem is it, because some a sh1te altogether.
