i have recently gone from having 2mbps broadband to nearly 7mbps broadband but the web pages seem to take alot longer to load especially if they are new pages that i have not visited before. i was wondering what the reason for this could be?? i thought that if the internet connection was faster then webpages would load faster too. could it be something to do with IE7 although i had no problems with it when i had the slower connection. any help with this would be welcomed.

Hi rufustg, sometimes when ADSL lines are regraded it takes a while for the true speed to synchronise. It may be an idea to run some speed tests so you can determine if the problem is being caused by the service. Here's a good one:

Hi ruf, what is firefox? I downloaded IE7 about 2 weeks ago and I'm running real slow. Rick

Firefox is a browser like IE though many people prefer using Firefox and vice verser:

Also, it may be an idea to run a speed test so we can work out if the ISP is having a problem or if it's something at your end:
