Re: Download Speeds
Can also help to try different proxies - see the Cable Forum articles on Proxy Server Information.

If you need help setting a proxy in a browser other than IE, come back and ask. Incidentally, if you do find changing your proxy helps, it's worth thinking about using Firefox - there's an extension available for it (SwitchProxy) that lets you specify several proxies and change to whichever one you want with a couple of clicks.
