RE: (ot) dns



If you thought your cable connection was slow browsing - try my
satellite connection :-( pretty fast for pure downloads though.

Sorry for the delay in replying, I had to find out the answers to your
questions.

512 connection via TeleWest.  Any settings made by the engineer who
installed it. The BBC web site does within seconds.

I suppose that I was expecting it to be instantaneous. Having never
witnessed cable, I had unrealistically high expectations! I guess I
was thinking of when I was at university and their ultra fast
connections!

Much faster than my 56k though ;(

Thanks for your help.
