1148831	2010-10-30 21:00:00	Personally ... I'd probably go for the independent one .... they have nothing to gain and I've always been suspicious of one's own ISP speed testing ... mine has always been "extreme" (as in fast) through Telecom and speedtest have usually shown a lower speed which I believe is more accurate :D Have you tried resetting your modem ? Just tested off both Slingshot and Speedtest .... results the same.	SP8's (9836)

It's taking minutes to load web pages. What i think is happening, is that my speed to the slingshot server is fine, but externally, my speed is being limited.	jareemon (5207)
