Thnx everyone. Yup pages load alot faster, even if i have the lowest possible DSL, currently running at 256KB, will upload next year to 512KB. Progress comes in small steps i guess.

Run this http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks and follow the instructions to squeeze everything out of your connection. The TCPR default modem settings are set notoriously low.....

Anyone know a good tweaking utility for DSL Modems? Or where i can find info on my DSL Modem from within my PC/WinXP? Not sure why,but i don't see any DSL Modem in any hardware list!!! It has two connections,one with the network and one with my Ethernet card!

Thank you for the link-- would not have tried an app like that one if not recommended by someone with your knowledge.

Cyberworld- did you retry yraq's link? The site test is up now

Welcome to broadband Cyberworld. Out of curiosity do you have cable broadband out there? DSL is so slow!

Not yet,will try soon though,now i'm at my other PC.

Nope unfortunately Broadband Internet has not come yet. The best line here is 4MB Business DSL Line,but the prive is scyrocketing, sooo i'll just settle for 256kb DSL.
