Hi guys,

Recently, my internet has been going 10 times slower (literally) than normal. This has happened pretty much immediately after downloading a rather large computer game demo. I've now deleted that demo but the net, if anything, has not improved, indeed, it's probably even slower!

Do you have any suggestions for improving this situation?

Cheers,
