    Well a bright spark in AOL tech support just convinced me to "poke the little hole in the back of the router" so that my speed would "jump to ADSL MAX". I'll be starting the firewall rules again from scratch, what else to do on a Sunday evening :rolleyes:
    Blackadder: Baldrick, I have a very, very, very cunning plan.
    Baldrick: Is it as cunning as a fox what used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University but has moved on and is now working for the U.N. at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning?
    Blackadder: Yes it is.
    Baldrick: Hmm... that's cunning.

    I'm not sure why this is now happening, I've noticed that all internet browsing is slow, though download speeds are quick (a recent test file had an average speed of 233kb/sec) but webpages take ages to load, I've used cccleaner several times and restarted PC and router but still lags, even installed Firefox but that too is slow. :confused:

    Use the backup settings option next time.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
