    A simple method (that might not work for some but did for me) is to change your DNS settings to either OpenDNS or Google Public DNS. The following official guide from Google shows you how to do so for latter. I should also add that I disabled the firewall on the UPC Cisco Router in the router settings through the link http://192.168.1.1 . Its easy to do and my Megaupload premium account is now useful. I went from 1 tenth of a MB to 18-22MB on my 20MB package doing this. Hope it works for others. Leave comments please and thank you. :)

    Whoops, that should read in at about 1.8 - 2.2MByte download or 20Mbit, thanks for the heads up :o
