ADSL getting slower and slower.

[BTTB]

My 384Kb ADSL line is soo sloow and getting slower by the day.

What is going on with Telkom nowadays?
I have 2 ADSL Accounts and they both give the same slow pace almost as if someone on my network is downloading constantly which is not the case.

Not sure why I cannot ping Telkom, but the other sites look OK.
Could be a weekend reprieve? Come Monday the internet starts to slow again.

>I may have an issue on my side however. My son picked up a Virus at a friends place on his machine when he went there to play games. We have switched this PC off until such time that I can disinfect it.
Why I think it may be this PC is that the network icon and status shows data activity although there is no apparent applications running.

do a 'netstat -a' to see what is happening.
