AWeb 3.5.09 grinds to a halt- why?

[jj]

There are still people on dial-up ouch
 
I get annoyed that I am in one of the top  ten black spots for broadband in the uk being 3 and half miles from the exchange and can only get 2mb

My GenesisPrefs TCP buffer send/receive size is 8192, and has been.

Not only am I still using dial-up, but mine only goes 28.8 k to 31.2 kbps.  I guess there aren't fiber optic lines around here.  You get 2MB per sec.?  That sounds pretty good... would be for a PCMCIA ethernet card anyway.

Thats through ASDL and is very slow, should be able to get up to 8mb.  Not got fiber otherwise would be on 50mb or 100mb
