Re: not sure

Hi, the '512k' refers to the size of data used in the speed test. You are more interested in the final average at the bottom, eg:
Quote:
1st 512K took 2823 ms = 181.4 KB/sec, approx 1495 Kbps, 1.46 Mbps
2nd 512K took 4275 ms = 119.8 KB/sec, approx 987 Kbps, 0.96 Mbps
3rd 512K took 2653 ms = 193 KB/sec, approx 1590 Kbps, 1.55 Mbps
4th 512K took 961 ms = 532.8 KB/sec, approx 4390 Kbps, 4.29 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 2116 Kbps, 2.07 Mbps
(Note - this test was from work!)

Slow browsing could be due to a dodgy proxy server, in which case following the instructions here may help.
Post the full results of a speed test first.

0.75 Mbps is not too bad on a 1Mb line. I would have a look at the proxy instructions above.
