Hi I'm new here. I have a slowness problem with both my computers. They are a bit old, but I don't think that's the issue.
I'm with Virgin Media and live in Leeds. I did a speed check with this site, and the result was
I have a wireless n router that came with it's own USB stick and in my laptop I'm using a PCMCIA TPLink receiver that's apparently the equivalent of G+.

thanks

Tom

Thanks for the welcome.
I have two computers - both slow, but one at a time seems logical.

This one is a laptop
Windows XP Service packs 2
AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile
Technology MT28
1.6GHz, 960MB ram, 60GB harddrive
Internet Explorer 7

thanks
