    Well, browsing consists of uploading/downloading, does it not?

    1.2Mb/sec is fine for web browsing.
    Most pages are a few Kb, max.
    Anything over 256k or so and there will be no difference in normal web browsing speeds.
    However, Flash animations, large pictures, videos etc will load faster with faster connections.
    And yes, your browsing speed is dependent on your download speed.

    That's where I've always been a bit confused, I guess it's because the word 'downloading' could mean the actual transfering of a file to your HD or the loading of content in a browser.

    But why would uploading be a part of browsing? cookies?

      If your upstream data (upload/page request) has a 900 ms ping time, you won't really be browsing.  More like staring. :)

        How do I find out my ping time?

        Start > Run > type in "cmd" without the qoutes > in the command prompt type in "ping www.computerhope.com"

        it will send 4 packets then it will give you a summary at the end. you can do this for any website address or any IP. my ping for computerhope is ~98ms.

          Bigger number is worse. It means that it takes longer for the packet to get to the server. Mine is 55ish. And for some reason for the first three packets said "request timed out". Meh.

            I'd rather have a big one!

             ;)

            If you've got a small 'ping' try this link.
