cheers Ian, :bow: apparently my connection speed is 393.1 kilobytes per second, and the storage is 48 kilobytes per sec,!! and a 1MB download takes 21.3 seconds!! apparently the result is "not bad"!!! :dunno:
now all I need is a translation to idiot, so I can work out what all that means!! :bang:
I'm paying for a 4MB package basically am I getting it yet?? I know I have 96 hours for the connection, but it's half way through that waiting time and things seem to have sped up!! :dunno:

cheers for that Baz, it makes reading the results easier, :bow: but I'm a bit confused as to why the results vary so much!! :dunno: it says I'm still only getting my "original" purchase of 2 MB from my service provider!! :dunno:
