322747 2005-02-08 17:54:00 Hello
My PC is getting very slow on the net, I haven't changed any settings,we regularly do vius scans & adware removal. What can I do before I call Telecom & get charged $80?
I just have ordinary dial up, win2k, ie 6.
Current connection speed 28.8kbps.
On top of that I have a lot of trouble connecting as well.
Cheers Ron

You can also get Telecom to do a line test remotely, they only charge if they have to come to your home.

What sort of connection speed were you getting before.
