[QUOTE="Kim Griffiths, post: 744714, member: 64377"] You can have an old old old computer and the Internet should come across as fast on it as a brand new top of the line computer. The only difference is when you are running a program and YOUR computer is doing work. Then it might be the computer. The Internet is like a faucet. You turn it on and the hole allows so much water so fast to come through it. You can't make it go faster by changing anything but the hole. Now if a few hundred people get on that water line there isn't into be be enough water to feed everyone so the water will slow. I suspect that is what is happening to you. More people added and your at the end of the line so the data is slowed. go to www.dslreports.com and do a download test. If it isn't what you are paying for call the provider and tell him. Now there is a allowable amount that you have to let go. It's around 10 - 15%. So if your line is a 768 line you can expect to get about 650 - 690 download. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
