Hi.

Straight to the point - never ever thought I'd warrant having a 2MB connection. To be honest, when I was upgraded to 1024 for free, it was more than I needed. But now I'm working from home, I needed a better upspeed, so opted for 2MB - Samsung box delivered yesterday and switch over flawless.

However, since doing so, my browsing has become a nightmare! My d/l and u/l speeds are fantastic, but the browser pages seem to load quckly, then 'freeze'. Images take a loooooooong time or don't arrive at all. It feels like everything's trying to get in at once and the browser can't cope?
I was advised to alter my RWIN which I have as per http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks and Dr.TCP and it's now 28416. This means very little to me and I have gained little or no improvement.
Clicking the 'preview' here on this post sees the progress bar in IE fill right up very, very quickly - then just kind of stop, as if waiting for the rest to catch up?

Would some kind soul please tell me if I could be doing something to improve my browsing? I badly need the quicker upspeed, so downgrading isn't really an option.

Many thanks for any pointers.
