The text loads fast. Pics take a bit, depending. FR is about the only site I visit nowadays. All others are so app heavy and vid heavy. I’m running at about 26 kbps on a good day.
Give the ‘Opera’ browser a try - it has a ‘turbo’ feature that could speed you up a bit too.
I’m on an old XP and the sites get slower and slower to load - I’m on DSL. Also, ‘Chrome’ seems to be faster for me too.. (using it now- once Firefox 4 came out that was it for me over there- had to move to other browsers)
