Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible for me to determine if my ISP is playing with my connection ?

I download alot of stuff - got 5mb broadband / no download limits as it was part of the deal. But recently anything i try to download stops after a bit of time - just stops dead no matter where i download from/what time i do it. Just had another one which appears to have been cut off as it said the source couldn't be read...

I dont think its my problem - so can i find out if there interupting the data etc ?

Sounds odd. Usually they would just cap your speed.

You can use Google's measurement tools to try and see what's happening upstream
