Yep something like that. But I think some of the other smilies you could post just the smilies but it was the Big Grin one that the D gets changed into a d so it kills the smile if you got less then three characters.

But My fastest download speed with down at 32.69 Mb/s and up at 3.20 Mb/s was this here on the Dell.


On the old computer this is about the best I will ever get.



I can not look at my history because even going there on my old PC it is info they keep at there site and I moved this month.

Slowest I got from this site on the new Dell is this one.



But that is way back east so you know some places the speed will get slower.

Then again to really download a file it is faster on the Dell to but can still get as slow as the old computer from some sites.

I pay for a 6 Mb download speed so was really happy to see the faster speed because of a faster computer. Also old computer had 98 with all the speed tweaks on it and new one has XP pro without speed tweaks but the ones made to firefox settings.
