Hi Greg, This is a very much interesting link, was it (per chance)??: "dslreports.com - Speed test " at: http://www.dslreports.com/stest/0 and hitting the "try this javascript speed-test" link: http://www.dslreports.com/sredir Mine gives me, from _windoze_ (i have not a SuSE setup yet) : (Much updated one... thought) [Your download speed : 215384 bps, or 215 kbps. Browsers would show : about a 26.2 k/sec transfer rate.] I've got a 256/128Kb (in/out) connection here at Spain from TerraNetworks. I use a "3Com HomeConnect ADSL Módem PCI" 3CP3617. ---- Greg Thomas wrote:
I've got an ADSL connection that is pretty speedy for me. Using Netscape and the javascript at www.dslreports.com I consistently get 1 to 1.2 mbps downloads when I am logged as myself. I installed only Netscape Communicator 4.73 for my wife and when I log on as her I am only getting 275 to 300 kbps, one third the speed!!! I can't figure what the hell the difference is. Netscape is setup the same for both of us. Any ideas on what I can check to see why she gets such low speed????
Low speed?, detail your contract band-wide, please.
Oh yeah, I'm using kdm and WindowMaker if it matters.
Do not know about the "kdm and WindowMaker" related effects, did you have previous notice of any?? Would you please detail setup. Is it the same machine your wife's and your's??
