My international IS ADSL connection is useless at the moment. Although I get 400-500ms pings the packet loss is a constant 50%. Anybody else experiencing international problems?

Next month I'm seriously dropping IS and going to Hellkom.

Same here - I moved over to IS in November and thought it would be much better - I knackered myself (and my business) with this decision, and am unfortunately locked into a 12 month contract - as soon as it expires, I'm gone! :(

I guess I must just close up shop and go home...
