I'm pretty much happy with anything faster than dialup honestly I was just pointing out the speed increase with verizon fios, if I had DSL I'd be happy with that too probably. Anyway,t his is getting off topic now so I'll drop it here. On a jaws related note, if anyone does get verizon fios, don't let them put their software on your computer, Their toolbar has a popup blocker and from what I can find, it will really play havoc with any other one you use at the same time and you can't seemingly to me, make any changes with jaws so I got rid of every last thing they installed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi John,
Well, my ISP is DSL extreme, and they offer a range of upload and download
speeds. I'm doing fine with mine. I'm not racing the clock or being
inconvenienced in any meaningful way with the service I've got. So I'll stay
with my provider, but thanks for the information.

With verizon fios, you probably wouldn't notice any difference. I know I
don't, it's so fast to begin with.

Chip,

Thanks. I imagined it was something like that. I don't have any problem
with
this, myself. I use IE 7 and my DSL connection, although it's at the
bottom
end of their offerings in terms of download speed (and price), serves me
quite well enough. But I am sure some computer users really need to get as
close to something like a T-1 connection speed as they can, for various
practical reasons. I'm okay with my setup as is, though.

The difference can only be, at most, the time it takes for a web page to
start loading for you.  So, if a web page began loading within 5 seconds
of your pressing the enter key, that's at most, how long the DNS server
may have taken to respond to your web client with the IP address of the
web server you were looking for.  In practice, it's a small fraction of
that time, and switching to a different DNS server is only going to save
you a small fraction of that fraction.

If however, you have an ISP with a DNS problem so that you have
exceedingly long times before web pages begin to load, then you could
look into an alternate DNS rather than switching ISPs.

hth,

Chip

Really? Is the difference significant? I mean, are we talking
an extra
minute to download a page from The New York times? Or a few
seconds? Half a
second? Just want to get some idea of what kind of speed
difference we're
talking about. thanks.

Yes, if I'm not mistaken, firefox loads and renders pages faster then
any other accessible browser on the windows side.
