Its certainly something to do with your phone. Here are my tips
1) Take couple of readings in the morning (say around 4am to 7 am)
2) Take couple of readings in the afternoon (lunch hour or so)
3) Take couple of readings again in evening (or night)
4) Then take one in the wee hours of morning
Compare and em and post it here. We might just find the culprit. The thing changes from time to time. So you better take note. Once we have enough data you may send a complain letter to TM and MCMC so that will fix the issue. BTW its related to your phone line and not streamyx
If possible do one test with spliter on and the other one without (i.e connect the modem directly to the telephone line without using a spliter). Do some basic troubleshooting first.
im goign to skip posting everything here... i'm just gonna give u the skinny of the whole thing
my neighbour is staying 6 doors away from me. he has NO problems surfing. i have massive problems. called streamyx 4 tiems in the span of 1 week - changed ports all the time, flushedns and all the necessary rubbish - imean steps they take u through.
asked me whether i was using splitter said yes - disconnected the splitter (btw, i got 2 extra splitters and tried all of them), went straight - no difference. still slow.
they say ok. change me on another port. still slow. sent tech guy to house, he pick up phone say nothing wrong, and left.
so, i tot hard line is alright, port seemingly changed 4 times, alright. next up. my modem fried (but how come LYN and other local and sg forums i can access? mmmm.... no matter) i got my neighbours dlink modem router which he's using (and it works perfectly alright) and i bring it home. guess what? surprise surprise!!!

it's also not working.
so....
is it my modem? no
is it my splitter? no
is it my whole garden / area which is screwed up? no (my friend coudl get gmail and youtube in 2 seconds. i took 20 minutes)
is it my phone line? telekom fella say no, modems SND and attenuation says no.
so i ask. what else should i do, and who should i blame? i dont' know (it's rhetorical)
