Cable Forum - View Single Post - Windows XP and NTL dial-up

Just got back from a work trip so have been unable to try much with my xp laptop. Have tried again this evening, and it runs so slow i couldn't even open this page, just got page not found errors. Google loaded, but only on a second attempt, and then took 15 seconds or so. Have resorted to using my old desktop which is missing the point.

Have tried using same cable as desktop but still the same problem. I have also got a freeview box which allows me to access the internet, and that runs at normal speed, so it must something specific to the laptop / XP - laptop runs through the internet connection at work with no problem, so it does not have an inherent browsing problem

Any suggestions would be welcome.
