getting the speed from the router, an Internet/Firefox download progress
display or are you looking at the network icon in the bottom right hand
corner of your screen for the speed?

yes i am looking at the icon in bottom right hand corner. i have since
tried the adsl modem that pipex supplied and that shows 2.2mbps and the
pages download very quickly

Presumably you have rebooted the router to re-connect at a higher speed?
Try a factory reset. Weird how these things ar sometimes.

my router and cards or as these ok and there is a problem elsewhere. i

Your icon is telling you the link speed between PC and router. you need
to check the speed between router and exchange / internet.
1) Check the router control page, browse at 192.168.1.1 and read the
'online status' page results.
2) Do the ADSLguide speed test and compare to 1
If anything in the receive side is not about 1Mb/s and is nearer 512kb/s
you may have a problem.
