Lets see how fast you are downloading at.
And if you can post your modem stats too, that would help us give you better advice. If you need help with this, just post the name of your modem here.

Re: for simple folk - whats what
nice and cheers for the help.

downloaded 40mb speed around 1mb/s which i konw is good but the first time i have seen it that high. Usually avereage around 40kb/s

modem is brandless - virgin media - 6 lights from left to right power,enet,send,recv,sync,ready

have also noticed theat the connection appears to be intermitent.

have virus and spyware scanned and cleared all history etc

i will not be offended if i have done something wrong my self.

thanks
