20K+ Super Poster.
if I can never download beyond 150kb/sec and I have to wait for pages to load, what exactly is the point of a faster Internet Connection??

And this passes through a Linux based router/firewall (Smoothwall), SonicWall SOHO3 firewall and an 8 port switch

My download from Microsoft on 2MB BT ADSL.
Could you borrow somebody elses router to see if it's capping your download speed?

Christian and Beccy,
to test, really test
find a few sites and download some files www.microsoft.com is a good one
( their connection could be a limiting factor so use a few different site)
if you have a 1meg link it will download at 120kbps
if you have 2meg, to should get 240kbps
here if work i've seen over 5.5meg a second

Spiky, I have never downloaded ANYTHING from anyone at anything like 200kbps, let alone 240.
Normally nearer 120, but sometimes if I am really lucky, I might see 150.
Is there a setting on my Modem or in Windows that might be wrong??
As I said earlier, I will buy a new Router once I know what is a good one. I want one that will still allow me to use P2P safely and without the shit I had with the BT one. Also, Wireless would be useful, but not if it is going to slow my connection even more (which it shouldn't, right?).
