Can you log into your router, you can usually find out what the line
speed is there. I tend to think that beyond actual faults somewhere on
the Internet your download speed is very much the function of the
connection you have to whatever server you are downloading from unless
you are using one of those download managers that use multiple
connections..

DJ - I've looked under 'local area network' on my pc, which is wired to
the
network, and it says the connecting speed is 100.0mb; I can't find yet
where
this info is retrieved from on the laptop under the some what
differently
laid out Vista OS!
What about this wired speed of 100mbs on the PC? -
Andy
