Give it time. Everyone else in your area probably just upgraded and is trying to see how fast it will go

Yea I was getting 2.7mb when i ahd zonelarm on you have to totally uninstall it and restart the pc, then i was gettin 3.9mb so simply turning off zonealarm does not work you have to totally uninstall it.

[sheka]

I also have had to uninstall zonealarm as with it installed I was limited to approx 2.7Mb/s. Uninstalled and I now get my full 4Mb/s (almost)...

[Will73]

I seriously doubt you have to uninstall it!

I've tried with ZoneAlarm switched off and are still getting only about 2.5Mbps. I think this is due to the NTL:Home 100 modem.

does anyone have the number i call to get a new modem - is it customer services or tech support? I'm not going to be fobbed off with this 'up to...' cr*p.

Thanks,

[sheka]

uninstall it and try.....you could always install it again afterwards.....

or download a linux livecd (knoppix) and surf to

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

and download SP2.......that is how I checked that it was not a network problem

[danuk]

You really do have to uninstall it I don't know why but simply turning it off does not work.

[sheka]

you may be able to stop/kill the "true vector" service (part of zonealarm). This doesn't get stopped when you just shutdown zonealarm.

Glasgow NTL 100 Modem.

I switched Zone Alarm pro off and still got the same.

m8 uninstall it completely, I was in the same boat as you until i removed it from my PC.

[tonecold]

Hmm this is not a problem I'd expect with Zone Alarm, sounds more the type of problem people get using Nortons or McAfee
