UPDATE 9/26/06:
Once the vzn people came back to work at the C.O. on mon,
they got around to fixing their non-existent problem.
(which, of course, they insisted was the fault of my computer
and its "memory shortage, etc..."). for full story , see:

ORIGINAL POST:
just got vzn dsl in june. has been ok, running CONSISTENTLY at 732 kbps/download
and 136 kbps/upload. (using Vonage test)
from one day to the next (9/23/06), my dsl speed has gone to heck!!!
now getting only 300-500kbps on dwnld, and the results are ALL OVER THE PLACE.
They can vary by 100-150kbps from one test to the next!
the upload speed stays around 132-136kbps.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?!
I have changed or added absolutely nothing, and all virus and spyware, norton systemworks checks, etc. were negative.
I run my IE security/privacy and CA firewall (courtesy of Zone Labs), at conservatively high levels.
Tsk Mgr shows cpu idling at 1% usage w/brief spikes of 40-50%, every 10 sec. or so. The computer is running fine.
Vzn is of VERY limited (=no) help. they tell me my 6100 Westell is running at 864 kbps and that's it!
they seem unable to comprehend that there is a problem??!
Something is very wrong, but I don't know what it could be.
I was reasonably satisfied w/ things as they were, but how could it go to pieces overnight?
thanks for any help. (djleyo flores ?)
