6417/319 but browsing through treacle!

any clues about what can be wrong and any tests I can do that might pinpoint the problem.
The figures in the subject are at 8pm and I think they look pretty good but when I am browsing the web it seems to take a long time to load each page. Almost as if it has to think about it before it loads. I have disabled firewall and AV but it makes no difference. I am sure this has been creeping on for the lat couple of months. I have rebooted the router (Speedtouch) but it makes no difference.
Thanks

Hiya,
Is there any chance you could show us what a traceroute looks like when you're seeing these problems?

Re: 6417/319 but browsing through treacle!

It will be necessary to open a DOS window.
In XP and Vista it is relatively easy. Click on the start menu button and select “Run” then type CMD and then press the Enter key. This will open a DOS window.
In Windows 7 it is more difficult as the Run command is hidden by default. The easy way out of this is to right click on the desktop, select “New” then “Shortcut” and type or paste this in the location box “C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe” without the quotation marks assuming that Windows is installed in the C: Drive. This shortcut will then open a DOS window.
In the DOS window type "tracert bbc.co.uk" without the quotation marks then hit enter
One it has finished right click with the mouse and click on select all. The text will then change from white on black to black on white.  Pressing return on the keyboard will add the text to the clipboard and then you can past it into your post

Re: 6417/319 but browsing through treacle!

I'm having problems as well.
Could it be a problem with a gateway or load balancer?
traceroute (using linux) below:

That looks badly broken.
Can you try rebooting your router please?

Can you traceroute to bbc.co.uk instead of www.bbc.co.uk?
