I had the pleasure(?) of being called around to fix an XP box that was apparently running slowly. As is my routine I began with the standard tests, viruses, spyware, hard-drive diagnostics, removing unused programs etc. Some stuff came up but not a lot. Just out of habit I downloaded Firefox and used that to test the Internet connection, some improvement over IE but nothing you’d notice in a two-minute test on an unfamiliar machine. After failing to find anything majorly wrong with the machine I consulted the owner again to see if there was any improvement from what I had done, “Yes, much better thank you.” Hmmm…
Anyway, they then asked me if I had any suggestion on how to speed up the Internet connection! "Weeeellll … now that you mention it … ". As the title says, one more Firefox convert! Wahey!
I’ve got all my friends using it, my parents using it and most of my family using it. There’s one friend who just says “We’ll see” when I tell him about it, as if it takes a lot of effort to download 1mb and install.
when i use firefox my downloads start at sometimes litrally 10mbps, and sometimes just 3 mbps, i cant belive it, when i use internet explorer, downloads start at about 600kbps, firefox is very fast, ha thats proberbly why they called it firfox, fox on fire, fire fox, (ass is on fire), going like clappers, going very very fast.
Lol ppl in the council still use IE and wont convert. Really annoying but apperently they have some deal with Microsoft or a partner or something and they think it would be a violation of it.
