An apology (in fact several) 12:28pm on 25 Oct 2008 Why is it that as soon as you mention bandwidth problems (or any problem o_O ) all the linux geeks jump on the bandwagon (not a pun honest!) saying dump MS dump MS.

You need to look at what youve got running before you dump a whole sodding platform :/

Might be the stuff you don't know you've got which is causing your issues.
I found when we had bandwidth problems it was adware problems and things you think should be sleeping.
Has you son sneaked something on such as limewire for example. Even if it is off that canes your bandwidth.

I also recommend statbar. You can install it on your computers and see which one is kicking out the most kbps and hopefully relieve the problem.

Otherwise it maybe an idea to look into traffic shaping.

If you really end up looking at linux the easy to use ubuntu platform has a live disk you can request that will let you test the platform without even putting it on your system via booting by cd rom.

PS For the Alliance!!! :D
