Ive just come out of a lengthy discussion with my broadband provider (Tiscali to those of you in the UK)
Im on an 8 meg connection, getting only 5 which im fine with (distance from exchange thing). If i download something, sure enough, most of the time ill hit the speed i should be. But going from webpage to webpage is taking absolutely ages!
For example, i go to google, type gbatemp, click on the link for here. It will sit on connecting for maybe 10 seconds, then it will sloooowly load up the GBATEMP homepage. from clicking the google link to having a fully loaded front page is taking perhaps 30-40 seconds. I know i could wait that time, but how can I be downloading at full speed but have such shit web access from site to site? This is the same for near enough every single site i go to
My broadband provider is telling me its basically not there problem, but is it? I know its not my PC/ firewall etc. So what else can it be?
