I usually use Yahoo for email.

When I need to download an attachment, I get speeds as slow as 1.5 kb/sec to the fastest about 9KB/sec.
However if I forward the same email to gmail, and download it there, I get speeds of maybe 180kb/sec.

I am on a DCSL connection.

Visiting web sites is also slow.

I use Vista with Firefox. I have tried with no anti virus software and with no Windows firewall, but seen no appreciable difference.

Hotmail performs the same as Yahoo.

Any ideas?

Best regards

David
