Hi m8, I use NTL broadband too, i dunno about the program cuz i didnt get no program but, sometimes yeah it slows down alot. Mainly at about 7pm when everyone gets on, sometimes i loose my connection completely so i have to reboot and turn the modem off and back on again. This happeneds rarely though as i can run my computer for a week straight and be connected for a week straight.

You also have to bear in mind where in the world u are downloading from I use American sites and find that around the hours of 8-11PM or 2-5pm in the USA my speed also drops considerably however it picks up soon after that and as mentioned before its always on So I dont realy have much of a problem regaining speed

Once you have Registered with NTL n your up n running....Go and DELETE Correct Connect from your Add/Remove Programs....You Dont Really need it, it just makes you Paranoid cause parts of it don't work all the time....it is CRAP n you Don'y Really Need It.....At Certain times of the Day if there be 3 or more people liveing near you who are also on NTL Cable, You Will Slow Done with All Your Uploads n Downloads....Of Course NTL dont tell you all these things...If you want to know what your Download n Upload Speed is, go here.....http://www.pcpitstop.com/ hope that link works for you, if not go to google and type in www.pitstop....it will then give you correct address..Let us know if this has helped you...Take Care, Dennis..
