Yes that is the problem. I don't know if it is my local exchange or futher down the line but gather it is the period after 0.00 GMT when all the daily spam is scheduled to clog up the internet. I was just wondering if others have the same problem. It can be a nuisance if you are bidding on ebay and miss out because the email waits too long.
As for the other suggestions. The computer itself is running in idle 99% and the speed of download is from real sites that suddenly go from 600KB/s to 3KB/s and stay there till the traffic jam ends in about 45mins and then jumps back up to 600KB/s again. I do know the speed test site but there are many other variables that can give misleading results there.
