For a few weeks now, according to several speed tests, I have only been getting, roughly, a 1meg connection instead of 2 meg.

Rang up ntl faults and they confirmed that everything was as it should and they suggested that I try downloading a file in safe mode. I was then back to the right speed.

She suggested that it might be the firewall.

Well I was getting 2meg, but then at the end of July, there was an update for Kerio. Not long after that, I noticed the drop in speed.

I have now uninstalled Kerio and the speed is back to normal.

I don't suppose that this has happened to anybody else?

My computer just does not like having a firewall on it.
