Apologies in advance for being in the wrong section and also for my terrible ignorance of matters telephonic, but

I noticed this morning ( Easter Sunday) that my internet connection is lighting fast compared to usual.

It says I'm connected to a number starting 0608.

In properties, it says my number starts 0808 ( an " Anytime" service).

Now, have I been hi-jacked by a rogue dialler os somesuch, or should I just relax and enjoy the new-found speed, regardless?

I agree with Dave, there is no such number beginning 0608 (try dialling it yourself).

Assuming you double-checked the number clearly does read 0608 then I assume its software fault.

Which properties did you check?  Was it the software that was provided by your ISP (most likely) or Windows' own properties as in the Control Panel?

There was a thing about rogue diallers but they were mostly dialling 0871, 09x and other premium rate numbers.
