Do you mean technically slow ot not many people posting?

If you mean technically slow, You're not wrong! I even rebooted, but it's still slower than when I was on dial up.

In other words, it's complete :Rob James: !!!

Ugh!

I could explain why that is irrelevent, but I'll just get labelled as a geek :o

Beerfunk,

Is it because the difference between dial-up & 2 or 4 meg broadband is massive.....whereas there is little noticable difference between 4 meg & 24 meg broadband?

(A bit like the way that there is little noticable difference between a 4 megapixel digital camera & one which has 10 megapixels)

I think it has more to do with the fact that no matter how fast you can download if the source (i.e. MDD) is slow then you can only download from the server at that speed. It's like hiking/trekking, you can only go as fast as the slowest member.

Yes, absolutely - only works with the 'special' cans which must be cold, produces very close to a pub pint of Guinness but without that dreadful draughtfow stuff involved...
