I am loading fast enough with my dial-up but images are very slow, but not slower than images from anywhere else. Could this be a cable issue? I understand they prioritize "packets" and connections in a way that dial-up and DSL don't. My main problem here is if the banners are too flashy... as in flash, but I can search and everything on my machine although FreeStuff pages take a minute or two and Gallery pages maybe 3-5 minutes, and store pages 5-6 minutes... but the forum pages haven't been a problem. I didn't say more re. the value of the DR. cause he already knows I appreciate and respect him.
