ADSL can painfully slow (slower than a dialup connection) at times, especially for internet browsing (html). There seems to be a load threshold for your server or network, beyond which the trouble starts. And the change occurs like a quantum leap ie it is not linear. 2. What is surprising is a seldom noticed fact by many. Even when ADSL internet access is slow, the ftp download continues to be fast, or at least noticeably fast enough. SO what is that glitich which is slowing down the html and not ftp from DOS prompt? 3. My own attempt to find the truth from ISP and othere xperts failed so far.
