Seems I spoke too soon its been up & down all night. Downloading works but seems to dip every now & again - I have 3 downloads combines at 4.5kps at the moment. Yay!

My traceroute was not bad like that, but i tried doing a speed test last night with webafrica and got download of 0.30 on a 4mbit line.. This morning it seemed better so not sure if its going to last.
