OK, compared to others, I seem to be having real problems. I'm in Glasgow, and have the mid-speed broadband service, which presumably should be about 700K. The results that I get from the speed test are:

Fri, 6 Aug 2004 19:10:40 UTC
1st 128K took 8532 ms = 15362 Bytes/sec = approx 128 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 8793 ms = 14906 Bytes/sec = approx 124 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 8602 ms = 15237 Bytes/sec = approx 127 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 11076 ms = 11834 Bytes/sec = approx 98 kbits/sec

This seems a bit slow, doesn't it? I am NOT particularly technically minded

, but I can usually follow simple instructions with breaking too much. Can anyone suggest anything that might help me to speed things up?
