evening, any pc gurus who can help will be mucho appreciated!

 

Basically iv been waiting for my broadband connection to take place, and in the meantime iv been using tiscali pay as you go 56k dial rubbish! However my broadband package has arrived over the last couple of days, so iv removed the dial up conection dowloaded the install CD and fitted my new voyager 2110 wireless ADSL router. After lots of ducking about getting the connection started im online!

 

However the connection is meant to be 8meg but looking on network connections im only getting 4.1meg but seems to be improving, now here is the problem firstly the connection is real slow only slightly better than dial up! and at the top of IE page it says IE is powered by tiscali when infact im using talktalk so WTF iv deleted every part of the tiscali dial up package yet this leads me to believe that the dial up is still in use when it cant be as my line is free for making and recieving calls :confused: even 4meg should be fast :mad:

 

cheers greg

youre gonna like this one, in the small print of the contract all broadband providers state that you may not be able to get the full bandwicth you applied for in your area if you line and exchange dont support that speed.

 

as for the powered by tiscali goto the add remove programs and make sure there sint a tiscali toolbar in the list or any other toolbar in there, if so uninstall it.

 

i will pm you my number if your still stuck call me tomorrow afternoon, i wont be here until after 1pm as i am having my speech therapy in the morning.

The "Powered by" statement is just stored in the registry by your last ISP(HKCurrentUser\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Window Title). Delete the "Window Title" entry using Regedit if you're particularly worried about it. It'll have no bearing on connection performance however ;)
