Hi Tristram - The router tells me that the downstream is 7424 kbs, and upstream 448kbps: is this good? - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tristram Llewellyn" <tristram.llewellyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 11:37 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Download speeds | Can you log into your router, you can usually find out what the line | speed is there.
