Well.....it "might" be the fragmentation issue.....Since it has probably been over a month since I reinstalled Windows, and normally I install all my programs, and all the updates, then do a defrag, but didn't exactly have time to do so this time around. I'll do one later today to see if that helps.

I hate to admit it myself but the simplest things end up being the case...
If the problem persists though, just drop me a message and I'll see what else I can dig out.

I'll remember to ship you some loot when I win the euro millions lottery haha.
That's no joke either, I actually would send you a few million.

*bows to the almighty Whyt*

And I got a better idea, pay for a plane ticket, and you can just hand me some in person. We have to grab Seki and Cresent too then as well.

Ok, so I ran a speedtes with my ISP and with Speedtest.net, here are the results below:





The download speeds are close to each other, and Xfinity says that my peak upload is over 3Mb/s, whereas speedtest showed my current upload speed.

All in all, according to Xfinity my speeds should be: 2,300Kb/s DL and ~300Kb/s UL.

It seems that speedtest.net shows what your actually getting where as the other tells you the speed you should be getting.
I'll take the test and post my results to see how they stack up.


Just look at the rating of my ISP...
Slower than 64% of Great Britain...



As you will full well know, the xfinity one is comcast (America) so the download will be much slower but those are what I got, the uploads seem pretty steady across the board.

Well, I did do a defrag, and my system is running a little smoother. I haven't tried uploading anything yet, but I am not sure if from what you did with the forums did it or not, but Firefox is working again on the forums for me. I just use chrome more, because when I open it, it opens me straight into my email.

I'm a loyal chrome man myself, been using it since launch and haven't looked back since.
Firefox looks too much like IE aswell, thats the main reason I don't use it.

Everything is better than IE though, except for IE9 apparently, with the new stuff they beefed IE9 with, it is the leading browser to prevent driveby malware and all that stuff. But doesnt say anything about speed or reliability, plus it also depends on user action alot too that IE.
