I think I can sympathize with island girl, I have a similar problem, new computer connects very slow to the same provider I use also for 6 years. Don't laugh, I have dialup. It only goes up to 26 Kbps and I got similar explanation from the helpdesk, unplug all phones etc. I didn't do that, it's b.u.l.l., since my 2 laptops on the same line, I mean, plugged into the same socket, not somewhere else in the house, connect at 45.2 Kbps. My guess is that it is a modem problem, not the server or the computer's speed. All other programs, when not using the internet, run very fast. Pictures show up in a splitsecond while the old desktop took its time. So I will have to take my new desktop in to be checked out before warranty expires.
So what does anyone think of that? Am I wrong?
