Strange internet connection, very unstable!

Hi, I'm not sure this is the right forum for my problem but what the hell, I'll try it anyway. For the last 6 days my internet connection (ADSL, download speed - 2048 kbit/s, upload speed 256kbit/s) has been behaving really strange. I can connect and surf with no problems, although a little slower than before, but when I try to download a program or an update it's just very unstable. The average download speed should be around 230kB/sec (as it was before the problem) and not fluctuate, but now it starts at 170 then slowly drops to 120, 80, 50 and even below 20kB/sec. Then it rises again etc. I contacted my ISP and they say they've checked the network twice and everything's working fine and that maybe I should check for viruses etc. So, I scanned with AVG, Comodo Firewall and Spybot and nothing. It's never happened before. The average speed before was 115, 116kB/sec but the ISP recently increased it (as of July 1st). It worked fine in the beginning so I don't get it. Can you help? Thanks. :confused:

    There is no malware that would be causing your problem.
    Unfortunately you are now outside my area of knowledge, so I'm going to have to recommend that you visit the web forum for assistance.

    http://icrontic.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=22


    When you start your thread, explain what the problem is and let them know that you have been checked for malware.
    Give them a link to this thread so that they can see you are clean.
