Is it possible to find out if my ISP is capping my ADSL?

Reason I say this is that I have started to notice a reduction in my bandwidth to various sites that I visit to a limit of 5*Kb/s exactly on them all, and this never used to be on sites like these a few months ago.

Anyway to find out if they are lieing??

Any help will be greatly received.

Contact your ISP, or look at your contract, to determine what speeds you should expect to see based on what you are paying for - both up and down. You can then go to a site such as DSLREPORTS.COM and do a speed test to see what you are actually getting. If it's not what you expect, go back to your ISP. I've seen this type of behaviour before - Problem can be anything from spyware on the comp to a bad DSL modem. Good luck..
