Hi VanBuren, 

  I will do and get back to you thanks.

John

Hi and thanks for the help, I have tried the other bandwidth test and it came up with worse results and the mirror page gave similar results to the american server!!!!! dipite all that ocean.  I have also tried changing my mtu level to 1492 and that did not seem to make any difference at all.  This is driving me mad but maybe it is just my connection and that will be the best I can get, but I am sure it used to be faster.  Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

John

Hi tried setting the mtu level to 1500 stopped me from logging in msn messenger and surprisingly seemed to slow down my speed.  It may be somthing to do with either my router or bulldog dsl.  Any other suggestions?

John

Hi, I have tried changing the MTU setting before to 1500 but had a few connection problems will try again and get back to you.

Hi VanBuren,

  Well what ever you got me to do seems to have worked.

Test Time:: Wed Apr 20 14:58:28 UTC+0100 2005
Bottom Line:: 30X faster than 56K 1MB download in 5.02 sec
Diagnosis: Looks Great : 5.03 % faster than the average for host (bulldogdsl.com)

It still not fast as I would like but it is a big improvement.

I hope this looks better to you to me it means nothing.  With a 2MB adsl connection what speed should I expect.
Thanks again for the help
