I don't know whether my currently poor connection is because of the continuing Plusnet problems or the fact I had three power cuts over the weekend.

No problems last night.
I've downloaded Wireshark to my iMac, I'll fire it up again if I have similar problems.

Below are my normal download stats, just measured 12:55 Monday 13th Feb.


I presume it is my Streaming Speeds that are important when using iPlayer, as speedtest showed high speed 16.6mb/s when my downloads were very slow.
