I have been in touch with my computer engineer and he seems to think, beings its only my laptop that is slow it may be something to do with this computer, he is coming round tomorrow to check it out.

So, sorry to have questioned you first, hopefully its something to do with the wireless situation but i will let you know the outcome.

Bev-
Please do let me know what you learn. I have had problems with the site using my laptop on wireless, too. I'm not sure why. But if you find out anything useful, I'd like to know. And don't worry about posting here. There are performance issues - always will be. Right now I am pushing hard to make improving site performance one of our top priorities. It's a very complicated situation with lots of variables though. Some problems can be very hard to solve - especially the ones that end up being on the user end instead of ours. But I will still try.

Thanks for the update. Good luck and please let me know the outcome.

Sorry Photo-John it has taken a while to get back.

I had the computer engineer round and he thoroughly checked all the computers out, the desktop computer with the livebox is running fine and upto speed. Mine (laptop/wireless) has days when its unbearably slow, he thinks its an ISP problem, sometimes very hot weather can cause signal faults,especially on wirless equipment, and we have had the last 3 weeks of very hot weather here.

Whether this is the cause or not i have now downloaded a software called "Onspeed" www.onspeed.com it increases speed for internet connection. It compresses the data you download in web pages and emails etc using unique compression technique. When tested on a standard dial-up from 30kb to over 300kb, on a standard 1mb broadband onspeed increased performance to 5mb.

It offers a 14 day money back guarantee (£24 for the year) and it has been installed for 3 days now and i have had a dramatic change in connection speed. If you have heard of this software and have any doubts please could you advise me?. Thank you.
