Have you done a ping plotter trace with it set to show the graphics for each hop?  Try it, post it up here and I'll compare it to mine..... it would be interesting to see if you are getting 'bitten' by any of the same bugs  8O

Take a look at this.

A small quote from the article:
"Network Associates said that many home broadband users were reporting heavy traffic on their net connection as a result of being infected by the worm. "

Take you worming tablets like a good cat there....  :lol:

Glad you've fixed it.  Just wish my ping problem was a worm, at least I could remove the little bleeder, but no such luck I'm afraid  :(
