    I'm surprised your DSL software even loads. 256M ram is grossly insufficient for XP and DSL. Add 512M ram and you might get some satisfaction.
    If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

    Nice, good to see your speed is finally picking up.
    Hopefully I'll get my upgrade soon . . .

    2k_dummy - at my advice, the OP has 1.25Gb of RAM, waiting on the extra 1Gb to arrive.

    Visit:    http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/

    There are many of these type of sites online,   that one is just very simple and straightforward.

    Try a couple different servers from the list in the column on the left.

    Post your results here.
    You can just copy-n-paste it.
    Note that there is a difference in  kbps and KB/sec. 
    Just copy the two lines of info that appear under "Last result"  after each run.

    With that info,  some folks here will interpret it and let you know if your number of hours sounds about right.
