I have recently had my net connection upgraded to 4MB, and was wondering if there was anything i needed to do to make full use of the new speed in XP.

the reason i ask i cos i remember installing a new modem for someone not too long ago and the driver disc asked if the ISP was higher than 4MB. if it was then i should install a patch on XP to allow high speeds.

Who is your ISP and what connection do you have SB?

My ISP is telewest (blueyonder) and connection is 4MB originally 1MB

Cable modem or ADSL?

cable modem, surfboard SB4200

Well I can't find anything on the Microsoft website, and I got 4mb connection to, but my ISP has never provide my any information about this. By the way I'm downloading using Firefox with speeds up to 500kB/s, and that's the peek of my connection.
