Re: Broadband Speeds
hehe, if you dont quite understand what a ping is then why are you worried
you lot should be grateful, internet speeds todoy are a million miles away from what we used to have, for those who used 9.6Kbits/sec modem we remember it taking days to download stuff and I'm not talking even megabytes of data as we didn't have disks big to store it.... and gigabyte Hertz cpus? geesh that was science fiction..... |

Re: Broadband Speeds
Cough, it does help to turn off the wireless if you are using ethernet margaret doesn't it! ;-)
it does surprise me how many people use technology with absolutely no idea whatsoever of how to properly set it up or secure it. yet you cant say its not common knowledge that pc/internet security is very important Ok I learned over many years but its almost unheard of particularly on forums like this where you do have techies willing to help that people say "actually I have no idea on how best to set this lot up properly, can someone help me? " |
Re: Broadband Speeds
I know that you made the effort to set me up wireless a while ago - I had to keep switching that box on the window sill on and off to get it to work - frankly it was a pain in the backside.
Since then I am on a newer desktop and got a back up laptop this year - both using ethernet |
Re: Broadband Speeds
BT emailed me last week saying they upgrading my line for broadband on Monday morning, I have to say my laptop speed seems much faster this morning

Re: Broadband Speeds
Have a read about which browser is fastest, I dont think you will find it is IE so you might benefit from trying other ones.
