Browsing Speed
It's not that the speed of page loading is so slow, but I changed my connection speed yesterday with my ISP to double that which I had before, yet I don't see any difference in how rapidly a page loads with any of my browsers. When downloading a file, it does load twice as fast as before.
This caused my to reflect on how I reset the port speed settings in XP, using the Recovery Console and the ems redirect to 115200 (dialup days), even though it was set to this within the Device Manager already. I had a number of people on another forum tell me that it would make no difference, but it did. As I understood, MS had written it in such a manner that it overrode this setting, because they thought it would slow dissemination of certain viruses, etc. on the internet.
The fact that page loading remains the same, despite the increase in speed of my connection makes me wonder if there is anything in W7 that might have the same effect?
