If you feel you are not getting the help you are entitled to here, you can
feel free to contact Microsoft's other support options, which will probably
want you to pay but at least you can be assured there that the person you're
talking to will actually put up with you and be as sycophantic as you need
them to be.

Well repeating "8MBS" over and over and criticising people who are trying to
find out about your system instead of trying to provide answers or at least
asking why their questions are important isn't helping things. Pipex offer
an "Up to 8 Mbit" service, so I'm going to assume that is what you have.

Moving on, how are you determining that your connection speed is slower than
normal. I'm guessing it obviously 'feels' that way, but how have you
actually measured it? How are you comparing it to the performance of Windows
XP?

*How* is your computer connected to this internet connection? USB connected
ADSL modem? Have you checked for updated drivers, or if the supplier knows
of any problems with their equipment working properly in Vista?
