Bob, fire your proofreader. 56kbps is not enough to test an ancient dial-up modem.

That would be silly of me, as he just pointed out the error which I have corrected. For which I thank him you.

Anyway - the statement was valid .

Is that testing using TBB? There's a known bug with the TBB tester atm. Try speedtest.net.

Thanks again Fully solved

Phew!

That upload looks like a 10Mbps upload setting that has been left in place. That shouldn't have happened but is nothing like as scary as what you were getting on the download. Support shoild be able to check and fix that.

We now need to address the wireless side. If you have a wireless connection icon in the system tray at the right, clicking it should give a list of available connections, your probably at the top. Right click yours and then select Status.

Again, this is just a first step - establishing it isn't simply inadequate wireless connection speed.

On the Status page, click Wireless Properties and then Security. What does it say?
