Alexandre, Appreciate the suggestion, but that was not the issue... Im one of the lucky ones, with the exchange in my back yard, on the other side of my fence; say 100m maximum. Further research showed the ADSL link between myself and iInet reports 20 mbits per second, I.e. d/loading from 'their' web or ftp server. Clearly the problem had to relate with iInet's external link. As final proof, I setup a net speed test between myself and another iInet client in Perth city who also "had slow internet browsing". I can't renember the speed transferring data between us, but it was flying! And, remote desktop sessions between us felt no different to a local lan connection. Certain times a day, and much more noticably, during school holidays, browsing etc boggs down to a crawl...

Greetings from sunny Perth... My new Average d/l Speed Record 14k Bytes / sec faster... faster... My average for the past week was about 9.2kBs - I only discovered testmy.net tonight and wouldn't you know it, the speed tonight is 50% faster, a blistering 14k, but I guess thats because it was 1:40 am local time. TestMy.Net compared it to the average for the country: "99% slower than the Australian average 6.7 Mbps" So all week it must have been about 0.4% of the country avg. Yes, it's a bit better than the reliable 9.6kBs (9600 baud) I used to get on an ordinary phone line over 30 years ago! And if you think that sucks, my upload speed peaked at 0.1kB/s, i.e. barely 100 bytes per second. I have an audio recording of an iInet Technical Expert trying to convince me "there is nothing wrong, your speeds are within a normal ADSL range!". (I will post it when I work out how).
