Regarding Tom C's response to my continuing use the ancient MS XP operating
system. I live in the outback area of Santa Barbara county, California.
Out here there is no fiber optic cable service to our house, only expensive and
easily overloaded Hughes Direct Satellite. The alternative is line of sight 2000
Mhs radio to/from a mountain top 12 miles away.

Since we aren't Power Internet or Gaming users we got the most cost effective
service from our internet service provider, Impulse.Net. For $50 per month they
guarantee their download speed of >5Mbps and my upload of >1Mbps.

Clearly my ancient MS XP computers are not the speed limiters here. As an aside
the US Navy still uses the MS XP operating system and pays Microsoft to maintain
it fast and secure. I don't need internet speed bragging rights.....Tom
