I'm currently online at my mum's using her O2 dongle and it's like going back to the dark ages - slower than any dial up connection I ever remember using and pretty sure these results can't be standard for a dongle (although I've never used one elsewhere). The O2 connection manager is claiming that the signal strength is 'excellent'. Is it likely that there are settings on the laptop or something else that might be affecting the speed (Mum says this is pretty much normal). Cheers. http://www.speedtest.net/result/650892337.png |

Very good Tom! Now laid up at my mums with a bad back and hoping the pain subsides enough for me to get home in time for the apat event tonight - playing it from here doesn't look like an option!

no ideas then? About what? You haven't actually asked a question Claire you've just told us about your connection. Hence the "nice story" post. |
