ok, since we spoke, my speed has been upgraded, I am now on a 4 meg download
and an upload speed of 384 but in reality, this mornings speedtest said it
was 255. I have had a complaint that I have a slow upload speed to someone
else, Ihave two others downloading at the same time, can you tell me what to
put in box, without me putting pen to paper, and trying to figure out stuff
I dont understand....! thanks! numbers in boxes and tick or untick!
