Netstats moron...

Hi,

I have been having trouble with internet connections for about 2 weeks... I have a Mac Pro connected via ethernet and a laptop and 2 iphones connected intermittently via wi-fi.

The internet DL speed is around 3MB at best - at worst around 0.5MB.

I contacted my ISP and they asked me to look at Netstats. I listed all connections - there was a lot of info listed (although only about 4 or 4 were marked as ESTABLISHED.)

They told me there should be no more than 10 and that I probably had a virus.

I have run a virus scan and nothing was detected.

Can anyone give me any advice? Do I have a problem with my machine or is this the ISP passing the buck?!

BTW, I'm a bit of a moron when it comes to things that are TOO technical, so please use language I'm likely to undertsand!
