Bastard ISP!

Optimum Online has been nasty about BitTorrent for a while. Now they've hit new levels: After using BT for a couple of minutes, your internet connection mysteriously dies. I've tried it 5 times now, happened every time.

(Quick google only reveals discussion of capping. Could be my modem or router... but how would BitTorrent break that?)

(I need my UKNova!)

Quick google shows that a lot of people have complained about this router vis-a-vis BitTorrent. Trying to fix it now.

I bought Netgear because I'd heard good things and they had a decent looking one at a good price. Now I'm reading very bad ones and they jibe with my experience (notably, slow page loads).

It's used so I don't rate our chances of a return (but might try) - it's not for us and I don't want to spend more money on a router for my parents... (we got them a new one).
