Oh it's system works.... you didn't let it "tweak" any settings did you?

Just uninstalled Norton. Slighlty better d/l speed.

You may need to use the nortons uninstall tool to totally remove all the remains and you may need to reset some bits.

I would guess that Norton has tweaked or changed something. There is a way to reset your ethernet settings
open a command prompt
(Start menu
Run
type: cmd
press enter )
and type the following into the black box that opens
netsh int reset all
press enter

Well it's getting there, you may want to leave it tonight and check your speeds at 2 or 3 different times tomorrow to see if it's a problem with traffic on the NTL network or not.

alanc34 · 10-12-2006, 21:28

Thanks very much for you help Paul.

Looks like it was Norton that was mucking my system up.

Take back what i said about NTL.

Paul K · 10-12-2006, 21:30

Keep an eye on your thread, others may have more info or help for you. Check your speeds in the morning if possible, then again in early evening and then late(ish) tomorrow night. That way you get an overview of your speed.

SnoopZ · 10-12-2006, 21:30

I'd also try that speedtest in IE rather than Firefox or Opera as it probably will be better.

Paul K · 10-12-2006, 21:31

Best speed test is a biiiiig download from a trusted server (MS etc) as it gives you a better average

dcclanuk · 10-12-2006, 21:38

i did that net sh thingy in cmd.

it made my internet faster too!

first the speed test wouldnt load!

now this is wat i get on 10mb:

And are you happy with it?

The netsh command resets your protocols in use for the connection.
