goto <a href="http://speakeasy.net">speakeasy.net</a> and run their java test they should have one for your region. <br>
If your download time is fast than it is likely a DNS issue. Do you
perform your own look-ups or is your ISP handeling that? Also, what are
your ping times. <br>

<br><a href="http://tiscali.co.uk">tiscali.co.uk</a> takes 2 to 3 mins. KMail also takes about 2 mins to check for<br>mail on 4 addresses. I've tried the line and router on a windoze machine and<br>all is ok.<br>Any thoughts anybody? I have had this sort of thing happen before but not so
<br>bad and a simple reboot has cured it but not this time. Even forcing a re<br>connect to the isp (Tiscali) has no effect. Bit rate tests give about 960K<br>but the tiscali home page for instance hangs for a long time with a blank
<br>page showing 22 of 24 images eventually loads them and then hangs on the next<br>batch etc. This email will take about 1min to transmit.<br><br>Suse 9.0, 9gig free disc space, kde 3.1.4<br><br>Regards and Thanks (I hope)
