871302 2010-03-31 07:22:00 I'm experiencing some download issues like small 5mg downloads halting for up to 20 to 30 seconds then starting again. I have a Thompson wireless router on the xtra all you can eat plan and when I recently did a 'Connectivity Check' the 'Connectivity to DNS Server 1' and ...2 came up with a big red cross. Could I possibly have a configuration issue or is this normal. Can anyone suggest other possible ways of improving my connectivity. (And yes I know...change plans...).

you may have to try each channel until you have no problem downloading or connecting to the net
