Connection Speed
Thanks to everyone that replied, my connection speed is 9.52 Mbps now, with Orange it was 1.1Mbps, but it's still slow, is it my connection
speed i should be checking or something else? regards Alan.

What exactly is slow? Is it all sites you visit or just some? Do large images/files download slowly or is it just that webpages take a while to start
loading? Bear in mind that no matter how fast your connection gets you can only get webpages as fast as the webserver can dish them out, some sites
will always be slow if they get a lot of requests and the server isn't a super-dooper jobby.

Hi, my computer starts off fast, ebay, forums etc, then it starts to slow down, i thought by changing my provider it would help, i am not complaining
about my connection speed, it seems to go into slow motion which drives you mad, all help appreciated, regards Alan

sounds more like your PC at fault than the connection. Do you have an up to date anti virus program and a Spyware checker? Do you defrag the PC, Do
you have enough ram in the PC.

Hmm, are you using a wireless router, could be next door downloading for free. Or another user in the house if you have kids they could be
downloading all sorts and seeding bittorrent etc.

No kids, no next door, very lucky. I am begining to think that it could be the PC.
Any clues as to what to look for - not an expert on computers - great with cars though.
