anyone have any clues as to why my dsl has suddenly become 56k slow? everything was working fine and then boom slow down. any help would be appreciated so i don't kill anyone from agrivation.

I regret to inform you I cant help you with DSL. I entered this thread because IE was the subject. Perhaps you ought to try Mozilla (open source) browser.<BR> Mozilla.org<BR>Im never going back to IE.

well it might not be you downloading the <i>anatomical study</i>, it might be your pesky neighbours!! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0"> In fact you could be sharing your connection with up to 49other people so you may have another leacher in your neighbourhood!! poo

use one of those bandwidth tests to check if its IE or if it really is ur DSL

if you want a good website you could always try DSL Reports. They've been pretty good with testing my speeds <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"><BR><BR><a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.dslreports.com">DSL Reports</a><BR><BR><BR>or if you own your own modem, and are in Ontarion, my DSL provider is great <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> You should try them.<BR><BR><a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.golden.net">Golden Triangle Online</a><BR><BR>Anyways I have to get back to work, hope this can help you your dsl probs!
