I suppose the answer to this question is obvious but I have to ask. The speed I noted is for my G4. I don't know what it is for my computer in Port - I'll test first chance I get - but I can tell you the one there, an iMac, is much faster downloading. Is that, as I suspect, because the G4 is older and likely doesn't have as much memory? I used to wonder if it was slow in London because I'm in an apartment building or maybe it was a Rogers' thing. But I note my speed is roughly equivalent to most. In Port I have sympatico and it is, like I said, much faster. I'm grateful to learn my numbers here are not out of line since I had actually been considering switching to Bell in London. jim ----------------------------------------------------------- For information about MUGLO: http://www.freewebs.com/muglo -----------------------------------------------------------
