Did you change your router? If you have you will need to set port forwarding up... Some routers support dynamically setting up port forwarding but your client needs to support it (vuze does).

This wouldn't effect the OPs speed. If ports were the issue it would not work at all. I've been on the same vodafone package for a while now, I would consider these speeds quite good for vodafone and would be happy to get these. I usually get slightly less than these. The issue is IMO that vodafone over sell their product and if theres too many in a cell tower region trying to check their facebooks and download p**n etc then everyone in the region suffers.

EDIT: typos

Started a thread on this subject, generally dreadfull not what you'd expect from a 7meg connection....occasionally I'll hit 300 or so kb/s download but mostly like right now for example I'm on 18kb


dial up ****e!!

I know it's a month old, but don't normally download torrents. Since the move from BT to Vodafone DSL, it definitely has radically slowed down for me too, almost as much where I'd think about changing supplier.
