Because your ISP typically throttles you back, in the consumer package. My ISP (and presumably yours) offers an upgrade for about $125/yr. that gives you a static IP and equal-speed up and down, so you can host a web site or ftp site, etc. Arthur ----- Original Message ---- From: Rocky Smolin at Beach Access Software <rockysmolin at bchacc.com> To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues <dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2007 12:23:11 PM Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Firefox question So on the way out the door this morning, Noah, my 10 y.o. asks "Why are uploads so much slower that downloads?" (He's been running speed tests.) Well, I never really thought about it. My answer was "I don't know".. But I'd better find out. (My rep's on the line here). So why are uploads slower than downloads?

With it installed, if you get to a page that doesn't seem to work correctly you can right click and choose "View in IE". IE then opens to that page. It saves time. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin at Beach Access Software Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2007 7:35 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Firefox question Arthur: I use FF and have had a few little problems with it but not many. Occasionally I have to view something in IE - usually a Microsoft site. I'm not sure what you mean by resizing the viewing pane however. I assume you've maximized the window. _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- No virus found in this incoming message.
