Thanks, I will (later), night now (time difference?)

Thanks everyone, .... but ... the mystery is solved. I now know what the problem is , there simply is no more than 385 kB. broadband available in this village according to T-online! While, in the village where I moved from (only 3 Km.) away, there was 3000 kB. available. I am a little . and somewhat disappointed, but [se-l

@Tommy Gorman. By the way, I did as you suggested and followed the link. Great topic but I run a fairly 'clean machine', don't really think that should be the problem, but I'll keep an eye on this.. Boats

Thanks Tommie Gorman, As I don't own the DSL myself, and my landlord is away, I don't have the details of the account and the advertised speeds promised. All I know is that I'm connected via t-dialin.net from the test I did via the testmy.net application. I tested via Dusseldorf, the closest one listed where I got these results. I am a FON member and installed a new La Fonera wireless device on the DSL. I'm not sure if you are familiar with the Fon (ap) community at www.fon.com (

Thank you Mudmanc4 for welcoming me to this site I'll follow your advice and also look around this Forum site. I do have connection, albeit soo slooow. I'm working on temporary assignment here with the understanding that I can work from home, otherwise it's a 140KM commute to the office Hope it will not come to that

I'm a newby to this forum. For the past 6 month I've been living in a guesthouse apartment in small village on the lovely Mosel river, Germany. There I had the availability of a shared wireless FON_AP connected to ADSL, from the building next door, with good performance. Yesterday I moved to a new apartment about 3Km's down the road in an even smaller village. The apartment has a DSL connection but now I have performance problems. I connected a FON la Fonera WiFi box and have excellent connection with my laptop. When I tested with the TESTMY.NET I got the following sad result Your connection is: 205 Kbps or 0.2 Mbps You downloaded at: 25 kB/s You are running: 4 times faster than 56K and can download 1 megabyte in 40.96 second(s) Member Ident:Username:boats CompID:19920472949000 Test Time:: 2008/05/01 - 6:33am Test Browser and OS info: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080313 SeaMonkey/1.1.9 Test ID: LFTRICD1G (if this is a screenshot go to testmy.net to see if this is fake) Diagnosis ^info^: May need help : running at only 8.82 % of your hosts average (t-dialin.net) This was tested from a 507 kB file and took 20.22 seconds to complete The landlord kindly had the DSL extended to my apartment. Before I bother him with this performance problem, I'd like to see if this a common problem with this provider (T-DAILIN.DE), the network, the distance of this small town from an exchange or other problem I had not thought of. Anyone have any ideas ? Thanks in advance Boats
