I have a cable connection and have made the latest tweaks from this site.
Cable speed: 3mb
OS: win 98se

My problem is that when I test my connection speed with IE6 I get a result of about 2950kbs

When I test with Opera 8.5 I get 400 to 800kbs

When I test with Foxfire 1.5 or the latest moszilla I get around 1100kbs.

I run all these tests in about 10minutes time, and have repeated these tests for about a month.

Also the Opera and Mozilla browsers load pages very slowly compared to IE6.

Does anyone have any ideas?

It could be that site was made for ms's version of java. I'm not really why would you get that many varried resaults.

Also Opera and mozilla may need some tweaking, I dont know about opera, but for a quick fix of firefox try downloading the extension "fasterfox" and set the preset to "optimized"

run one on there it always tells me exactly 4080 Kbps 500 K bytes/sec

that is my exact line
