Is there anyone who can actually CONFIRM that Zone Alarm is causing the speed issue? I spoke to NTL Support who said it was nonsense.
Since the upgrade I have only ever managed to get around 2.4 Meg whether using http or nntp. I do have Zone Alarm installed but why should it affect a 4 Meg connection when it didn't interfere with my previous 2 Meg connection which performed as expected ?
Also, is there any way I can disable the True Vector component of Zone Alarm without having to uninstall the whole program? |
Evidence is anecdotal, but with ZA installed I get 2.8Mb/s with ZA uninstalled I get 3.8Mb/s - using both the forum speed test & also David Elwells.
That doesn't 'confirm' ZA as the cause of the problem, but does confirm how it can be cured....
afaik you can't disable true vector without uninstalling?
