Ok guys, here we go, 1st question ever.
Since I've installed sp2, my internet speed seems to have dropped to a speed simular to using a 52k modem!
It says its running at 576k but It takes ages to load a screen, which should not be!
It also now gives me the old Cannot Find Page screen, like I'm off line, but I aint, and have to disconnect, then reconnect, to carry on surfing,download, play or what ever.
Give us a clue.
Cheers
 
Ok, give us a clue ...

What modem? What ISP? What set-up?

:D
 
Do files download at a slower speed, or do pages just load up slower?
 
ISP- demon, modem-Alcatel, set up?

It seems like it's the pages.
 
its a wires set-up
i reckon its the just the valves on his pc warming up
he has slowdown playing solitaire

Yeh, thanks for filling the boys in bro.
 
Well that told a story.
Page after page of "This test failed due to a server timeout or other error"
not one of about 30 tests worked.
Come on you guys!
 
See if them 'Froggies' have got any updated drivers for their modem ... better still, ask for a replacment to the Actatel. (the goffer is probably nackard)
 
updated driver, no better.
Spoke to Demon helpdesk,Mike said"change your dns servers to this and that, that'll sort it.
Thanks Demon.
It's no better!

A bit of an apology to Mike and Demon.
The advise given didn't work untill I shut down and re-started, although I was told I wouldn't need to do that.....wrong!.
Now, all things are go.......If only PCReview loaded as quick as all other sites I visit!
