Hey there folks not the most tech savy bloke around but I'm here looking for answers for my situationIm signed up with Slingshot broadband on a capped plan, I believe 200g and as of the past 2 months my service has been getting progressively worse.I live out in the country but when I first moved into the new home from the city, the speeds were fine and just like town. 500kb - slightly over 1mb download speeds depending on circumstances.Now I cant even hit 300kb from a steam download at 4 in the morning when im the only one on the connection. I have tried restarting the modem, many many times. I have called slingshot and gone through a list of things with the people there, had them restart the connection, factory reset the modem, I have purchased a brand new cable from the modem to my desktop, nothing has worked so far.I also love my gaming, counter strike being the game of choice these days, I have net graph up in that all the time and I used to hold a ping of about 40-50 stable. Now its 60+ and also spikes to 250 ping every 15 seconds or so, completely unplayable. I also notice that if im just browsing the internet or watching youtube or something if someone on another computer say loads facebook it will completely stop my video and have to buffer untill there page is loaded and then it will commence.Am I being throttled?The modem is brand new, slingshot sent it just a few months ago.No hardware, no line changes nothing in the past couple of months since its been slowing down.This is in Canterbury NZ.
