....I'm with Pipex but my immediate action was to test other sites and it was only this site that was loading slow.

I'm with Pipex too Robin. Have been for many years, even before they offered ADSL. Their service used to be 2nd to none. I'm getting very disillusioned with them though of late. Since they were taken over by Tiscali and then Talk Talk, Iv'e had nothing but trouble with my home connection. Because of my distance from the local exchange, I'm only managing 430k downloads. My neighbour's with BT and gets 1.27MB.
A change is well overdue. :confused:

How far are you from the exch 1.27 is well low, my mate stays a fair distance and he just got upgraded from 1 to 2mb.
There used to be a tester you could access and it told you how far roughly you were from the exch and what sort of speed you could expect something like midas some of the current bt guys might know it better

mixit, if you're use a router, could you post your stats?
Also have you removed your ring wire from your socket?

Ok but did you remove your ring wire as shown on the link I've posted as that usually increases your synch speed and hopefully will increase your BRAS profile with time.
