Hi P, Try the 'check my area' on the website you linked. It'll give you an idea of your local average. Cheers, Miles.

Okay, so still woefully short of 8 meg, but going in the right direction. That however will be down to the fact that your neighbours (unlike us) go to bed at a sensible hour and turn off their computators!

So the next step is to call your provider and to ask them to do a line and integrity test, firstly to the local exchange and then to your home. See what they come back with.

Let me know how you get on?

Cheers, Miles.
