I have a terrible connection anyway, around 0.2-0.5Mb at the best of times (was I refered to as the "pauper" or "peasent" of the connection ladder?) Over the past few weeks I'm completely unable to access particular websites, most notably Paypal, national-lotter.co.uk, LinkedIn, and pretty much 50% of any search results in google I want to go to.
Is this the sync speed of the router or the results of a online speed test. ?
Is it possible that some activity (such as heavy p2p use or just a lot of traffic) has caused you to be put on the "naughty pipe". If you have a reasonable sync speed on the DG834 and are still consistently getting those results from multiple speed test sites then I would be reporting your issues to AOL and if they can't resolve it, change ISP.
A MAC migration should be pretty painless, you aren't by the looks of it tied to the AOL email addresses and there are far better and cheaper providers out there (almost all of them in fact :-) )
This is happening across all machines on my network, linux and windows alike, wired and wireless, and also my iphone(unless I put it on 3g)
I have a netgear DG834T router, about 6-7 years old. There are no blocked sites and as far as I know the configuration hasn't be altered in some time, so no reason for it to suddenly alter.
I am on(...dont laugh)..AOL..
Funny you mention that, I currently have a client that is currently unable to browse any https sites from their home AOL connection, including their own systems at the office. It all works fine however using the same machine on another connection. In that case we have decided to ignore it for now as they are about to migrate.
