Hi

I have a problem with my first ever Broadband connection.

I have a 1024k connection but two mire tests indicate debits of 8.9 and then
6.3 Ko/s

I have already tried surfing without my Kerio Firewall and Norton Anti Virus
but it makes no difference.(Windows Firewall is disactivated )

Also , I've tried typing in an address in both Kerio and Internet Explorer
as 'trusted' and visiting that site when both programs are running but the
result is the same.

Today, I phoned my ISP and he told me to go into MSConfig and untick all my
background programs.

He tested my line which seems ok and then I did the above mentioned Mire
test.

He said that I must have a computer hardware problem but I don't buy it cos

1 I can download emails and attachements faster than ever.

2 I can download programs much faster than before.(I use Stardownloader)

3 The computer is working as normal otherwise

4 I have 384 of RAM memory

The problem only seems occur when I surf on the NET and want to download
pages and as I use IE6 and have to start somewhere........

Any ideas please?

Thanks

IE6, XP Pro, Kerio Firewall + Norton Anti Virus, 384 RAM,

Never heard of a "mire" test , but would you like to expand on what you are
actually seeing as a problem? Have you been to any of the speed testing
sites? (Do a Google on "ADSL speed test")
