Removing QoS seemed to help but had to remove it from multiple places until I did got xp hanging when I disabled it.

Quick test indicated no difference in ping/speed.

ta for the links.

Read the tips in the stickies above. If you read the some of posts your see that certain standard information is needed in order to provide advice by the bods.

PPPoA is used principally in the UK and is determined by the broadband implementation. For more see:

DrayTek Vigor 2200USB Review

Response Times and Connection Speed
The Vigor2200USB improved response times by about 10ms (from 30/40ms to 20/30ms) to my ISPs network. Connection speed was not affected and file downloads continued to run at 60KB/s downstream, 28 to 30KB/s upstream

Ta. Tried MTU 1458 previously with a variety of settings and speed was reduced so will probably be sticking to 1430 for the mo.

Use of a router may help I heard (increase by 10ms) so may give it a try but not sure whether need to change my connection with pipex though. An upgrade to a better ...

The explanation why MTU of 1430 is better in the UK is given at:

With the new Cablenut changes:
Downstream 429 Kbps (53.6 KB/sec) 463 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 162 Kbps (20.3 KB/sec) 174 Kbps (inc. overheads)

Without Cablenut changes:
Downstream 477 Kbps (59.6 KB/sec) 515 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 247 Kbps (30.9 KB/sec) 266 Kbps (inc ...

Downstream 429 Kbps (53.6 KB/sec) 463 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 162 Kbps (20.3 KB/sec) 174 Kbps (inc. overheads)

With MTU 1430 I get and undoing the changes:
