Yes, that is because most websites have very crap servers, because they can't be bothered to pay more for a good one.

But it isn't just any particular web site. It's all Web Sites, all downloads, all send/receive of E-mail.

It doesn't outshine a dial-up connection by much to be honest.

I have a 'Zoom' External ADSL modem ...

The software that comes with it tell me that the kbs data rates are:

288 transmited.
576 received.

Is that correct?

Not there falt if the Websites server is crap, is it? you wouldn't blame SR for selling you a crap game, as they didn't make the game.

Can you check something?

go to Start > Programs > and see if you have a menu there labled: SpeedTouch USB.

If so open the program SpeedTouch USB Diagnostics (PPP) program. Then look at the bars at the top when you load a page. However far they go up is how much data is being sent to you by the websites server.

If you dont have it can you tell me what make modem you have?

I may give that a go, but I refuse to let Pipex off the hook purly because some extra software speeds it up. They tell me I'll get a faster connection through their ADSL, and that's what I expect.

The blue pcs screens represent the computer sending and loading data. When they are off/black they represnt no data being sent.
