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.

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?

TIA

Rocky

There's an add-on called IE View that you may want to consider. 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.

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.
