i have an adsl 1 modem and live about 5km ish i think from the exchange, i am running windows xp with sp2.
i can dl from the adam internet site http://www.adam.com.au/speed at high speed about 600kb/s while other sites i dl from often, there is little speed change, i realise its because the server is close but i would expect faster results from internet 48 times quicker then my old internet.
so if any one could please give feed back that would be really appreciated, either on how to fix this and get faster dl speed, or if infact thats happening is normal and there isn't much more i can do.
