If the computer is the same as before upgrading to 1Mb, then it must be the line. What connection is it anyway? 1Mb sounds a little slow. Average cable connections run at 3-5 Mbits.
I have just upgraded to 1Mb from 512 with BT and my internet connection now crawls at less than dialup speed, whereas it worked fine before upgrade. It is not a modem problem (tried 2 modems) and BT say the line is fine. Any kind soul got any ideas? Am using XP SP2.
