Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Château Lassegue 1990
Current price estimate per bottle
The prestigious Château Haut-Brion surprises by the number of first places it occupies in many situations. Created in 1553 by Jean de Pontac, Haut-Brion was the first wine of Bordeaux's history to have the same name as the domain. At that time, the wines were sold anonymously. First chateau to practice techniques which are now unavoidable, such as racking or aging in oak barrels. Therefore, it will be the only classified Grand Cru in the Graves appellation in 1855, and is number 1 of course! There is no small vintage at Haut-Brion, owned by the Dillon family since 1935. In 1983, the Dillon family bought La Mission Haut-Brion, Haut-Brion's neighbour. It is always exciting to compare the different vntages of the property. In great vintages, it is perfectly able to age for several decades. Some vintages, such as the 1961 or 1989, show the incredible potential of Château Haut Brion, one of the greatest red wines in the world. The second wine of the chateau, formerly called Bahans, is now called Clarence de Haut-Brion.
Haut-Brion's red wine is classified twice: in the 1885 classification and in the red classification. However its white wine Is not classified although it is Bordeaux's greatest white wine. Featuring a very original structure, the Haut-Brion white clearly stands out from other Bordeaux dry white wines. A tribute to complexity, it combines the creaminess, smoothness and mellowness of Sémillon with the fruitiness and freshness of a ripe Sauvignon. It offers an inimitable nose of freshness with dominant notes of aniseed, fresh lime blossom and verbena. It unfurls an incredibly lively fruitiness on the palate, giving way to a smooth structure. Over time, the combination of these different sensations result in aromas similar to the ones of fortified wines. A magnificent cru.

|Zoroark: Master of Illusions
Grings Kodai (Japanese: コーダイ Kōdai), or Kodai, is the main antagonist in Zoroark: Master of Illusions. He is the President of a major company named after him, Kodai Network. His main assistant is Goon while his secretary is Rowena. He was reponsible for the tragic incident in Crown City 20 years in the past that destroyed all of the wildlife. He was able to do this by absorbing the power of The Time Ripple that Celebi uses to travel through time, and in doing so, he gained the power to see into the future. In the present time, his powers are fading and he wishes to get his powers back by using the power of Zoroark to clear the city, and using illusions to put fear into the outsiders. His only known Pokémon are Shuppet and Mismagius (though 20 years ago it was a Misdreavus, showing that Misdreavus evolved sometime during the 20 year time-skip)
Plot[edit | edit source]
History[edit | edit source]
Twenty years ago, Grings Kodai arrived at Crown City after extensively studying the history of the town and its legends. He came across The Time Ripple and a Celebi, but refused to let it enter the portal. Kodai instead absorbed the near-infinite energy from The Time Ripple into his body, thus granting him the ability to see into the future. As a consequence, Crown City's plant life withered as a result of the time ripple being drained of its energy.
Zoroark: Master of Illusions[edit | edit source]
Equipment[edit | edit source]
- Illusion Canceler: Grings Kodai, Rowena and Goon possess an illusion canceler attached to their wrist, whose purpose is to differentiate between real attacks and Pokémon, and the illusions generated by Zoroark and Zorua. His is broken by Zorua when he bites him on the wrist.
- Editing Software: When Grings Kodai orders Zoroark to rampage around Crown City as Entei, Raikou and Suicune, Kodai has his assistant Rowena edit video footage of the incident, making it more realistic.
- Arm Extension: Twenty years ago, when Grings Kodai arrived at Crown City, he utilised a robotic arm extension to harness the energy of The Time Ripple. During the current storyline, Kodai adapted the design for the arm, making it capable of releasing an electric discharge. It is also destroyed when Zoroark released a Dark Pulse while being shocked.
- Illusion Generator: Similar in concept to the Illusion Canceler, Kodai possesses an Illusion Generator, which he uses to fool Zoroark into believing that he had captured Zorua; whereas in actual fact it had escaped.
- Multi-Purpose Vehicle: Kodai also possesses an all-terrain vehicle, which he uses primarily to traverse the roads and river systems of Crown City with ease. He has also fitted it with a remote version of the Illusion Canceler.
- Hovercraft: Kodai also makes use of a Hovering device, similar in design to that of Zero's hovercraft. However, Kodai's Hovercraft is installed with a graphical interface displaying radar maps of Crown City, as well as an interactive map displaying the countdown clocks within the city.
- Airship: Kodai also owns an enormous airship, which serves as his primary base of operations when not on the ground. Inside his airship, Kodai has installed a prison for Zoroark and Zorua, which is electrified.
- Listening Device: Kodai uses this device to listen in on Ash and co.'s conversation on the location of the last countdown clock. Pikachu hears it as its flying away and destroys it with a Thunderbolt.

Editor's note: Willy Lam is Adjunct Professor of History at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Senior Fellow with the Jamestown Foundation in Washington D.C. He is also a regular contributor for CNN on Chinese affairs.
Hong Kong (CNN) -- There is only one thing that Chinese and foreign observers of China are looking for at the 18th Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Congress: signs of reform, especially political liberalization.
The chances of meaningful political changes, or those that dovetail with global norms, however, are getting increasingly slim.
The reason may be simple. Until around about the time of the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989, to reform or not to reform belonged in the realm of ideology.
Even before the birth of the People's Republic in 1949, factions within the party had fought over the future direction of the country.
When Mao Zedong was running the show, there was the celebrated "struggle between two lines." This referred to the fierce competition between the Maoists -- who claimed to uphold unadulterated Marxism -- and the "capitalist roaders," led by then-president Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping.
Read: One Party, different factions
After the Cultural Revolution (1966-76), Deng, the Great Architect of Reform, battled furiously with conservative patriarch Chen Yun, who only wanted "[market-oriented] reform within a bird-cage." In the run-up to the June 4, 1989 massacre, Deng, who was paranoid about China succumbing to the winds of change that were sweeping Eastern Europe, mobilized the troops to torpedo the Westernized political reforms championed by the liberal General Secretary Zhao Ziyang.
Read: China's next leaders: Who's who
Since the early 1990s, three major factions have emerged within the party: the Shanghai faction led by ex-president Jiang Zemin, the Communist Youth League (CYL) faction led by President Hu Jintao, and the "Gang of Princelings" -- a reference to the offspring of party elders -- led by president-in-waiting Xi Jinping.
Despite their apparent differences, these factions have come to a solid consensus on the major goals of the country. Politically, the CCP must preserve its near-total monopoly on power. And while aspects of the economy are being integrated with the global marketplace, about 120 yangqi or centrally-held enterprises will continue to enjoy monopolies over key sectors, ranging from oil and gas to banking and telecommunications.
Moreover, an unprecedented number of the spouses and children of party elders have gone into business. Some have become the yangqi's senior managers. Even more have used their sterling political connections to start highly successful private businesses in lucrative areas such as finance and real estate. These so-called "red capitalists" are evenly represented by members of the party major factions.
Critics of the government do not seem to be exaggerating when they say that 100 or so of the biggest clans that represent the country's "red aristocracy" control the largest chunk of the economy.
The official China Daily has reported that the top 1% of Chinese families owns 41.4% of the nation's wealth, while a survey by the People's Daily indicated that 91% of respondents thought the "nouveau riche" in China had benefited from their political ties to the CCP leadership.
Reform has become nigh impossible because any change of the political or economic status quo will threaten the vested interests -- and finances and earnings -- of these near-omnipotent CCP clans.
Read: Xi Jinping: From rural exile to China's top
Politburo member and Guangdong Province Party Secretary Wang Yang admitted this earlier this year. "At the early stage of reform, the obstacles [to liberalization] were mainly due to ideological differences," he said. "Now, the major problems faced by reform come from the configuration of interest groups [at the top]."
It is most unlikely that the fifth-generation leadership under General Secretary-in-waiting Xi Jinping will change the rules of the game. While Xi, 59, has the reputation of "Mr. Clean," his siblings are multi-millionaires who have substantial investments in China and Hong Kong.
Quite a few of the members of the new CCP Politburo Standing Committee (PBSC) -- China's highest ruling council -- to be confirmed at the November congress are representatives of China's big clans. They include the Vice-Premier Wang Qishan, Head of the Propaganda Department Liu Yunshan, and Vice-Premier and Chongqing Party Chief, Zhang Dejiang.
Owing to the rigidity of China's one-party authoritarian rule -- as well as the political elite's determination to uphold the status quo -- expectations of any kind of reform and liberalization have fallen to new lows among the Chinese intelligentsia as well as ordinary folk.
Even though China watchers in the West are paying close attention to who will be inducted into the Politburo and the PBSC, Beijing's largely apathetic political pundits are seized by a feeling of plus ca change -- the more things change, the more they stay the same.

In what could become a public image problem for wastewater treatment, researchers have found the superbug MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) at four plants in the United States. MRSA is a type of staph bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics.
Once confined to hospitals and their patients, the dastardly drug-resistant bacterium causes potentially lethal infections that are a challenge to treat. The superbug is being increasingly found in areas other than hospitals, and in healthy people as well.
Scientists in Sweden have reported finding MRSA in wastewater treatment plants there, but the recent U.S. study is the first to look for the infectious bug in wastewater plants in America. The team of researchers was led by scientists from the University of Maryland School of Public Health. Study leader Amy R. Sapkota, assistant professor in the Maryland Institute for Applied Environmental Health, noted that, "MRSA infections acquired outside of hospital settings — known as community-acquired MRSA or CA-MRSA — are on the rise and can be just as severe as hospital-acquired MRSA." But how MRSA has survived outside of hospitals and how healthy people become infected are unsolved mysteries.
Since the superbug is shed from the nose, skin, and feces of infected people, wastewater facilities seemed like a logical place to look.
The research team collected samples at two Mid-Atlantic and two Midwestern treatment plants, plants chosen because their wastewater is used as reclaimed wastewater — meaning that it is given a second life in applications such as landscape irrigation (after it has been cleaned, of course). The results? MRSA, plus a related pathogen, MSSA (methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus) were discovered in samples from all four plants. MRSA was found in half of the samples, and MSSA was present in 55 percent of them. The team determined that MRSA was present in 83 percent of all the raw, untreated sewage, but that the percentage decreased in samples that had undergone further treatment.
Unfortunately, 93 percent of the MRSA strains and 29 percent of the MSSA strains they discovered were resistant to two or more classes of antibiotics, even those that were developed specifically for treating MRSA infection. Also disturbing to note: The discovery of MRSA strains that were resistant to more antibiotics were also more likely to possess a gene that made them more virulent, in amounts that increased with treatment stage. The harder the battle, the stronger they became. Tertiary chlorination finally did them in, but their tenacity seems cause for concern.
Only one of the four plants tested positive for MRSA in treated water leaving the plant, and that plant was one that did not regularly chlorinate the water.
The findings were published in the November issue of the journal, Environmental Health Perspectives.

I have Tiscali ASDL 512MBS
Over the last 2 days the speed had slowed well down
using the online speed checks I get the following:
Direction Actual Speed True Speed (estimated)
Downstream 466 Kbps (58.3 KB/sec) 503 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 111 Kbps (13.9 KB/sec) 119 Kbps (inc. overheads)
at one time the upstream was 33Kbs
I have a wireless router/modem and the problem occurs on all 3 networked PCs.
Is the problem with me or Tiscali?
It is driving me nuts! :knock:
I recommend downloading and running Outlook PST Repair. It's a PST repair tool that I've used it in the past to recover emails, contacts, tasks and notes from corrupt Outlook files that are damaged or inaccessible. Supports Outlook 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013.
You can download it direct from this link http://goo.gl/1bjhSi. (This link will automatically start a download of Outlook PST Repair that you can save to your computer.)
I am thinking of upgrading my DSL Broadband speed from the basic to the next level. My question is how much difference in performance will there be? What am to expect that will improve? What are the pros and cons on a faster broadband speed? Is broadband speed relative to modem speed?
Looking forward to your responses.
Broadband is normally MUCH faster than a dial-up modem. However, I think from your post that you already have broadband but want to upgrade to a more expense package. The difference in speed will be totally dependent on your internet service provider and what type of packages they offer.Read other 1 answers
hi everyone
you have all helped me with my dropping out problem i am now going to ask if you
can help with my slow broadband speed 736kbps.
my isp provider has been very helpful but they tell me i am not going to get a faster speed because i live to far from my exchange i.e. 5miles.
I am using a wireless router with windows vista 32bit on a laptop.
any help to speed me up would be very much appreciated

What is my broadband 'IP profile' and why is it important? | Help | BT.com Help
Morning Guys, Maybe someone has ran across this and can help. I'm looking at a Insight Broad Band home network for a guy. 3 pc's on his router. He is paying for the 20.0 package, supposed to be 20 MB download. 2 of the pc's get about 18MB download, I figure this is about right with the modem (motorola surfboard sb 5100) and a (linksys wrt54g wireless router) all with current firmware. Insight say's everything is provisioned correctly. All pc's are wired with the longest run at about 100 ft. The middle run at 30 ft only get's about 10 MB download with several different speedtest. That pc is running XP Pro and all pc's have the same OS. All pc's are about the same, 2 to 2.5 gig processors. I have ran, hijackthis, spybot, adaware, super anti spyware, malwarebytes, combofix and his virus program along with online scanner Housecall. All came up clean. If not infected anywhere, where should I look for the speed loss. I changed cable ports on the router, changed nic card and cat 5 cable. I am at a loss on this, any help would be appreciated.
You should post this in the networking section here.
1. Are the network settings the same on all 3 computers? Especially DNS. Or are all 3 computers set up using DHCP?
2. Do you have anything else running at the same time as browsing? Especially updating software like antivirus/Adobe/Java/Apple or Quicktime/Windows updates? Try to stop it if you have.
3. Do you have any Firewall software running? You can temporarily disable it and see if it makes a difference.
4. Is the 3rd PC still slow when the other 2 are disconnected?
5. If you ping www.google.com do you get any timeouts?
6. Have you tried to use a different browser like Chrome or Firefox if you are using IE? You can also try resetting your browser or disabling any add-ons
7. Is the network cable of the 3rd PC running next to any power lines, fridges, heaters or anything that can cause electrical interference?
8. If you go into the properties of your network adapter and click on the advanced tab, is "Media Type" set to "auto Select"?
Please let us know.
I have tried "OOKLA" www.speedtest.net/ and www.broadbandspeedtest.co.uk and the results are quite different. Ookla gives twice the download speed results compared to the other. Can anyone recommend a speed tester?
The way I gauged my download speed was to download something large from GigaNews. After a few minutes any "surge" settles down and you get a steady rate. Tests with small data tend to favor ISPs that give a short burst, boost, or spike. If the download is less than 100 MB or so, it's too short to get past the download spike.Read other 2 answers
How can I tell if my 1mb cable broadband is running at the right speed? I have gone onto different sites to get a speed check but I don't really understand the results. My oS is Windows XP Pro and my ISP is ntl. All I want to know is if it is running at the speed it is supposed to run at. I've just had an upgrade but it doesn't seem that much faster than the 300kbps I had before. Can someone please tell me how I can find out in language I can understand. The first test I did was at ADSL and the results were: Downstream actual speed 148 Kbps, Upstream Actual speed 28 Kbps. The second site was bandwidthplace.com and the results were: 532.5 kilobits per second. The third site was numion.com, which said Throughput 5580 Bps and Throughput 45 kbps. The last one was dslreports.com which gave me download speed of 951 kbps and upload speed of 42 kbps. I don't understand any of this. Please can someone help. Thanks in advance.

Hi there seems to be so many 'Broadband speed' tests, which ones are the most accurate ? or are they very much the same?
The test results can vary greatly, depending on which site you use, the location, and the time of day.
I'm fortunate to have a speed test site that my ISP provides locally, so the upload and download speeds are usually within 90% - 100% of what I pay for.
Hi im on "orange broadband" & should be getting 8Meg but since last week ive noticed im getting much faster speed

I access broadband from a Wired router, and my two kids, are wireless. I know that when we are all on the speeds will slow down, but even when I am the only one on, it seems slow for broadband. Today, however, the web pages are loading instantly. How can this be? How can I check my broadbands settings/speeds and what they should be, and why they don't always reach the speeds they are doing now?
what speed broadband are you allegedly on
is it cable or adsl
who is ISP
I have recently upgraded from dial up to broadband. I had just downloaded some software and it took a few minutes to download,15 mg. The speed it was downloading was 50 kbps. My broadband speed is supposed to be 256/512 upload/download! Why is it still downloading as if it is dialup. I do not dialup and the broadband is connected! XP, 3.2 ghtz, 160 gig, 512 ram,
It could be the server you were using is just real busy. Try a free online speed test. http://reviews.cnet.com/Bandwidth_meter/7004-7254_7-0.html
With cable, your download should be above 1500 KB.
I have O2 Broadband premium with the O2 wireless box II on up to 20 meg. I would only ever get 2-4mb so I called them up and they said it was because I was using an telephone extension cable from the master socket in the livingroom up to my room and to change it to a broadband extension cable.
So I bought a RJ11 cable and I have done a few speed tests using various sites and show higher speeds from around 7mb to 12mb (depending when I test them) but whenever I download something it always downloads at the same speed around 150kbs to 250kbs? how is this when the speed test sites say I can get up to 12mbs?
I checked my uncles PC (stays across the road) and he is on talk talk and varies from 7mb to 12mb like myself and downloaded the same file from cnet and he was downloading at 1.5mbs - 2mbs where I was only 150kb to 200kb?? both are connected with ethernet cables.
why is there a big difference in speed?
Hello & Happy New Year!
My ISP is BT & I am on the "Up To 8 Meg" package. When I use various Speed Test sites, they all show roughly the same figure of about 950 kbps for Downstream. However, when I complain to BT about this speed, they tell me to use their site: http://www.speedtester.bt.com/ & the results from the tests there confuse me.
Below are the last results I achieved & the Downstream figure is quite respectable!
Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
IP profile for your line is - 1000 kbps
DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM) 2016 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 928 kbps
I have kept screen-grabs of previous tests & the IP profile for my line, (whatever that is... BT cannot give me a straight answer!), has varied such as, 1000, 1500, 2000 & 2500. There was one time when my line profile was 3500 kbps which resulted in 448 kbps Upstrem, 4224 kbps Downstream & an actual throughput of 3240 kbps.
When I use BT's site to see "How Fast Can I Go", I have had different figures on different days - anything between 3Mb & 4.5Mb
I find it hard to argue with BT's Tech Support when referring to the results from their site as they show a reasonable Downstream figure. My question is, why do all the other test sites I use show a figure of about 950 kbps for Downstream when BT's site shows a figure about double all these others?

Is there a prog around that will sit on the desktop and show the broadband speed??
Well, I found this for the Windows Sidebar.
In 20+ years of computing, I've run into a problem that just has me completely perplexed.
I have a G3 Dell Laptop that's only a few months old. Everything was fine until today, when my broadband speed dropped from around 80mbps to 8-9mbps, so about 10% of what it used to be. I noticed the difference and ran tests on several different sites.
Here's the kicker - when I plug my laptop directly into the modem, it's at 8mbps, when I plug another laptop in, it's at the 80mbps, so it's definitely something on my laptop.
The laptop is clean from malware. I've tinkered a bit with the network settings and nothing has changed. All my drivers are up to date, Windows 10 is up to date - I even uninstalled my AV and disabled ALL startup programs just to see if that was it - still at 8mbps.
Anyone have a suggestion as to what might be causing this?

I am an unsophisticated user. I have some questions regarding broadband speed. I have AT&T DSL Elite Internet. I found a link to an FCC site wherein you can test your broad band speed (link: http://www.broadband.gov/). The results I got were as follows:
Download speed: 448 kbps
Upload speed: 231 kbps
Latency: 42 ms
Jitter: 2 ms
When I mouse over my internet icon in the system tray it says:
Local area connection
Speed: 100.0 Mbps
Status: Connected
I went to the AT&T website and checked the various DSL options and they advertise as follows:
Pro internet: Downstream speeds up to 3Mbps
Elite Internet: Downstream speeds up to 6Mbps
Max Internet: Downstream speeds up to 12Mbps
Max Plus Internet: Downstream speeds up to 18Mbps
Max Turbo Internet: Downstream speeds up to 24Mbps

I made the original post above, 2 days ago. More than a little ironically, today I received a letter from AT&T, dated the same day (March 4) that states, "As part of our ongoing effort to provide you with the best possible internest exprerience, we regularly conduct quality checks to test the speed of your AT&T High Speed Internet service at your modem. Our tests indicate that you are experiencing throughput speeds slower than the speed tier associated with your service plan."
As a result, they are lowering my monthly price. This raises 2 questions:
1) Is there any chance that AT&T monitors this website and is taking the above action as a result?
2) What is throughput speed? Is that the speed going into my modem from AT&T, or the speed that is going into my computer from the modem? If the former, does that mean that no matter what plan I choose, with whatever modem, the internet speed I currently have is all I'll ever have with AT&T?
Thanks again.

i have just upgraded my broadband to 20mg from 4mg and it does not seem to make any difference when i go in to network connections and it says 100.00 mbps this has not changed when i upgraged does this change when you have a faster connection is there a way of checking how fast my b/band connection is as my provider is telling me i am getting 20mg any help would be cool
that 100 mbps is how fast you can transfer files from your pc to another pc on a network, not your internet speed. it will not change from upgrading internet services. you can test your internet speed by going to http://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html and running there test. there are also other sites that will test your connection too. hope this helps

I just re-installed Windows XP home, and I put in all the new patches; SP2, and the like. Before I installed Norton AV, and Zone Alarm, I noticed that my test scores from Broadbandreports.com were hovering around the 5300kpbs-7000kbps.. I have a 7meg download cable modem hook up. So, now that I am up and running to how I should be, I check my test scores are now back down to what I was getting BEFORE I reinstalled windows of around 2500-2600kbps, tested on different servers, different times of the day. What is making it so slow? What program did I install is making my connection so slow?!? I tried disabling NAV, and ZoneAlarm independently, and then together, but I'm still getting the slow speeds. Could it be some other program running somewhere that I dont know of (Or one I think is 'harmless?')
I have a XP 1600+ AMD,
Windows XP home SP2

Don't forget to factor in the 'contention'. Any chance that you have a near neighbour hogging any bandwidth. Happened to me.
My broadband speed comes through my telephone line. I`ve been on 3mb download speed but recently have upgraded to receive up to 7.6mb download speed.
My query is this: i`ve been told by a tech guy from my broadband provider that because my router speed yesterday was 4416 that that is the fastest speed i can receive.(i`ts only 3712 today). Can i change my router for a different one that will take 7.6mb speed or does the router actually make any difference to the download speed received?
Thanks in advance.

speedtest.net - I have pinged about 10 servers tonight, half in France and half in Ireland & UK. Every French server is pathetically slow in download and pings (28ms) and uploads are in the region of 4-5 everywhere, I am supposed to be on 11. Best was Virgin Media Croydon with 125MB (I am on 120MB at present) and 12ms ping (I used to get 7ms) with slow upload again!
I really would not put too much weight against what speed test results show. If you want to check what your Upstream & Downstream are. Run Shaper Probe.Read other 4 answers
Any recommendations as to a UK Broadband Speed Check that is accurate?
I currently use 3 Speed checkers (BT; BBC and Which) and the results from each differ by a considerable amount, often as much as 75% difference in Download speeds and Latency and Upload also differ significantly.
Thanks for any suggestions.
i think Which is most accurate because Which is made to help you compare companies.
hi there, i thought i would spread the good news, you can get broadband speed out of your existing dialup connection and even increase your broadband connection. It works, check it out at www.whizzconnect.com.

I am not sure if this is the right forum, but I have a problem. I have a broadband connection, which is running about 2800 download on the computer the modem is hooked to. I use my laptop to work from, have to connect through a VPN to access our clients servers. On my wireless laptop, I am getting 980 download speed. Both have Windows XP and I don't have them networked. The desktop is hooked via cable to the modem, the laptop and three other desktops are using a wireless connection.
Would going through VPN slow me down that much? Unfortunately, our client uses some resource hungry program and my productivity is going down hill. Would it help if I used a cable for the laptop and hooked it to my router? I didn't know if utilitzing the wireless card made me lose speed.
In theory it shouldn't.
Can you tell me what is the best broadband speed checker please.
SpeedTest.net used to be very good at testing the speed of your broadband limit, but lately it isn't being as accurate as it used to be, or at least thats what I think.
I have 20Mb broadband but when I use speedtest.net it only gives me a download speed of 14.5Mb, but if I download a file and see at the end of the download what the speed was it usually give me a result of about 16.5Mb.
Is the speedtest.net wrong or is the information given at the end of a download wrong?
It depends on lots of factors such where the file is coming from and the speed of the host, IMO speedtest.net is the best all round site, but I get poor results from the speedtest UK servers and only get near full speed from their Roubaix (France?) server.
Today Roubaix sucks and Morcambe rocks
For the past 8 weeks ive had an irritating problem that concerns the internet speeds and the effect it has on my pc.
Each time i connect to the net (512k) it runs ok for a few minutes then the speeds start to slow down. Using online speed tests it showed speeds dropping from 512k to 0.1kpbs.
After 15 minutes of internet use the whole pc would start to slow down. Sounds and music would stammer at this point. Playing online or playing with the internet connected would result in framerates dropping from 150fps to as low as 10 - 15 fps.
The mouse cursor across the screen would also stutter when moving the cursor around the screen.
If i disconnected from the internet everything would return to normal. Only if i logged back on to the internet would everything slow down again.
One example of this was when i tried to download 1mb. It took me over 30 minutes to get it downloaded (356 bytes per sec was last known download speed as opposed to the normal 50 - 60 kbps that im used to).
Internet pages would take as long as 10 minutes to load, normally appearing blank.
Whats causing this and what can be done about it?
My pc spec :-
athlon 2600 +
512mb ddr 333 (both cpu/memory overclocked to 172 fsb (344)
soltek nforce 2 mb
seperate sound card as onboard sound broke down
ati r9600 pro 128mb
seagate 60gb hdd 7200 rpm (data drive)

Hi guys, first post on your forum.
The area I live in has a very slow 'best possible' broadband speed, around 2 Megs however I have never got any more than 800 Kb/p/sec. What makes it worse is the longer I use the internet the slower it gets. If I turn off the router and wait a couple of minutes and turn it back on when it reconnects to Pipex it's back to 700/800 Kb.
The router is one of Pipex's Thomson speedtouch ST585 ones but I also had the same problem with my last ISP when I was using a Netgear wireless router. This is what makes me think it's something in my computer set up.
Any ideas? continually turning off and on is becoming a pain.
On another tech help site I found a suggestion to do the following,
1. Go to Start-> Run-> and type gpedit.msc
2. Expand the Administrative Templates branch
3. Expand the Network tab
4. Highlight QoS Packet Scheduler
5. Click on Limit Reservable Bandwidth and check the enabled box
6. Then Change the Bandwidth limit % to 0 %
Trouble is I'm running XP home and I can't access gpedit.msc.
Anyone got any ideas I'm getting a bit threadbare with this problem.
i would like to test my internet speed in mbps,last week i test my internet speed here http://www.ip-details.com/internet-speed-test/ , it shown in kbps i need the right website to test in mbps,please let me know if there is anything.

I'm running a Linksys BEFSR41 wired router, my issue is that I lose about half my download speed when connected to this router. When I connect directly to the cable modem I run at about 20mb. I just got off the phone with Linksys Tech support and they said they would help me out if I gave them $40.I figured I would come here and submit my question and maybe someone out there could help me out.Tech support also said they would be able to fix it, so I'm thinking that maybe its just something simple I'm overlooking.Thanks to anyone that can give me any ideas.

At the end of November/begininning of December I switched to a different broadband package within AOL, changing from AOL Gold to Broadband wireless. The wireless package is up to 8 Meg in speed, but I know that approx 4 Meg is the maximum available to me.
To begin with all was well and I was getting good speeds when web browsing etc, but after two or three weeks the speed suddenly decreased from 3.7 Meg to approx 400kbps. I queried this with technical support (!), and jumped through all the hoops they asked me to, unplugging, replugging, power cycle of the wireless router etc all to no avail. They then decided there was a fault on my line and reported this to BT...BT said the line was fine. A reset of the line by AOL finally brought my speed back up to 3.8 Meg.
After another couple of weeks exactly the same thing happened again. I went through the same hoops with Technical Support, then they decided there was a fault on the line... BT said there wasn't, and this time an engineer was sent out to do some checks at the exchange, then come here. The morning of the engineer's visit my speed was still slow, after his checks at the exchange it went back to approx 3.2 Meg.
That was a week ago. Yesterday my line speed fell dramatically again, to the point that speed tests now show a downstream that averages at about 100kbps. This morning I've done a full power cycle (more in hope than anticipation!) but it has had no effect.
I've read where people have had troub... Read more

I'm using Virgin's cable broadband.
I've a question about the speed of my broadband, in particular the one that I receive on my laptop and wondered if anyone around may be able to point me in right direction.
I've a PC upstairs connected to Virgin's modem & wired connected to PC. After upgrading my broadband speed to 10MB (from 2MB).
When running online speed check on 3 different website, the PC upstairs shows around 10MB of speed, however, on laptop it only shows around 2MB.
Laptop shows signal strength of wireless router as "very good" (understandably, upstairs it show "excellent" due to its close proximity to router). However, when I'm next to router i.e. when signal strength shows "excellent" and when I run a search, the test shows the speed of around 5-6MB.
I've disabled ZoneAlarm firewall, Spybot anti-spyware and AVG's anti-virus software, when running this speed test, but it's made no difference whatsoever & remains just under 1MB.
I've also ensured that the channels set on router and my wireless chip on laptop is same. Router's default setting's channel 6 and I've ensured the same set for my wireless chip on on laptop as well.
I've had new modem & router sent out by the Virgin people due to this, but the problem continuous, I'm afraid. Can anyone tell why I fail to get around or just under 10MB of broadband speed on my laptop?

I think you'll find that some wireless cards just don't yield the maximum throughput. I've run speed checks on my connection here, 15mbit/15mbit fiber, and my Toshiba running XP-Pro gets 15mbit, but the HP running Vista-32 only manages around 9mbit. Never been able to squeeze any more speed from the HP on the speed test.
I am paying for a 1 something or other mb, maybe? I can never remember. My question is when I download, at the most I am getting 200k. Is that as good as it can get or is there something I need to do?
I am using XP home edition version 2002 Sp2, My network adapter.. NVIDIA nForce. What else afects your actual speed?
I verywell could be. The download speed is determined by several factors. The most restrictive is how much bandwidth will the remote server let you have to download the software. I have 6Mbps download speed. MajorGeeks and Download.com seldom allow me more than 250Kbps and it is not uncommon to be as low as 150Kbps. With that said I have downloaded from Source.Forge.com at over 2.5Mbps on occassion. Have you tried testing your download speed?

How do I check the broadband speed.

is there a free software product that will monitor broadband connection live and show speed overtime.
my sons broadband connection appears to be dropping every 10 secs or so
For a while now, I`ve been suspicious that my BT Infinity 1 (actually states this on my bill) that I signed up for last March 2015, has never achieved the speeds beyond the 15mb. Now speed in itself doesn`t really bother me unless my pages are not loading faster than Brian the snail! That was only the case when I was using the wireless connection but switched that off and now use a long Ethernet cable and have had no drops or lag to complain about (yet).
I have a BT Home Hub 5 wireless dual band router. Nice piece of kit, but drove me a little mad when I was setting it up originally. Now it stays a steady blue light with wireless switched off.
On the BT community pages, customers are sometimes asked to post their router `stats` in order to view what they say and to check the download/upload specs and `ping`....whatever that is?
I log into my HH5 and click on various pages, but al it shows me in terms of speed is the following:
DSL Line Status - Connection Information
Line status - connected
Downstream - 1.951Mbps
Upstream - 800kbps
I`ve done unrelated online speed checks and my download speed is always below 2mbps. Not what you might expect from fast fibre broadband, so it seems my BT Infinity 1 fibre is actually (possibly) such on paper, but ADSL in reality? Is there a way I can check this guys? I just want to be sure BT do have me on Infinity (FTTC) fibre to the cabinet but are actually pulling the wool over my eyes! Might give me something to bargain with as my contr... Read more
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, was looking here a few days ago - my broadband connection became really slow for no apparent reason and I wanted to test my speed - I was told about this new one on one of the forums called Streetstats, which not only gives you your broadband speed but also tells you what speeds your neighbours are getting - genius!
It really worked for me (found out I could be getting a much better deal with a different provider, so I'm now switching!) - would be interesting to see if it's just a one off or if it really is the most accurate speedtest around...
You can find them with a Gurgle search... I would download three to try... You
may be very surprised to see the variance in results.
I have heard that an ultra high speed ADSL RJ11 cable will help increase the broadband speed connection. Is this true? and will this work?
I have BT broadband 8mb and only recieving around 3mb and can only download 500kb FTP and around 50kb P2P. I should recieve more speed than this shouldnt i?
Will the make and model of router i have help with increase of speed too?
i am not too far from the exchange either.

I'm pretty sure it wont but , we are due to get fiber optic soon and the speeds will be 100 meg and is said to increase later in the year to 300meg
the question is will a high speed broadband improve the homegroup speeds for sharing files between desktop and laptop ,
Sadly no, that will be limited to the mechanicals directly between their processes. But the good news is it won't slow them down !
Many of us (me included) are concerned about how "fast" our ISP (Internet Service Provider) is. Here are five different speed test sites in the US to help you answer that question. To get an accurate assesment of yours run tests several times at different times of the day and on different days.
If your ISP sold you a package with a download speed of, say, 25Mbs and your result is only 14Mbs, that's normal. ISP's advertise the maximum speed their network is capable of during a very light load. More users online and the speed drops far off the adveritsed rate.
In my experience with a wired router the available speed is divided by the number of connections to it which are active, I have no wireless so have no experience with that.
For best results clear your browser cache, cookies, temp files, etc. before a test.
The farther you are from the test server, the lower your results.
Speedtest.net This one has a map and lets you choose worldwide servers to test with.
Wide Open West
Audit My PC
c|NET Cnet may go wordwide I don't know, it has options to check where you are, work, home, etc. and I got widely varying results with each.
SpeakEasy This is what my ISP (Comcast) uses when they are here for a service call, I thought it was because it always gave the best result, but not true after I checked on the other sites.

Hi, Hello, just joined & not very proficient, but hope I can understand most!
Can anyone help please. I have Pipex Broadband with good speeds running on the desktop pc - via Linkseys Wireless Router. Have bought new Advent 7098Laptop which received the Wireless Router connection but the speed seems to be half that of the desktop, even when the Desktop isnt doing anything to reduce the speed (is only switched on). They are sitting side by side & the signal is excellent. Emails, browsing all Ok, but downloading anything is soooo slowwww. OK the laptop doesnt have the spec of the desktop but still has an Intel Pentium Centrino1.7 (3.4GHZ) processor & 1G Ram.It seems that the desktop is twice as fast as the Laptop - used BT speedtest which came out at 531kbps. The same test on the pc was 942kbps !Anything I can do either with the Router or Laptop to speed things up please or it because I have the desktop switched on? Have configured a permanent IP address on the router and laptop - all running Windows XP SP2. Thanks
so if i am not wrong you have Intel Pro 2200BG wireless LAN, and its should be enough. maybe its your firewall? try to disable , and chek test it again
My ISP here in the UK is Virgin Media. I had the 100GB broadband as part of a bundle, ie TV-Phone-Broadband. As we rarely watch tv much anymore last week I dropped the TV and took just the Broadband and phone option but doubled the broadband from 100GB to their maximum option of 200GB. They did the changeover remotely and I could see that now we just had the freeview TV channels.
I tested the broadband on speedtest .net and found that I was only getting the same as before ie 95Mbps on download and 7.2Mbps on upload. I phoned them and after talking to one of their broadband team he said that the problem was with my Virgin Superhub 1 router. Apparently it cannot support more than a 100GB connection speed. He arranged to send me the newest router, the Superhub 2 which was the correct one for my package. The router arrived yesterday, I installed and activated it only to find that although my upload speed had doubled to 12.3Mbps my download speed remained at the same speed of approx 95Mbps. I went back on the phone and the very helpful technician did some tests but nonetheless it remained on approx 95Mbps download and 12Mbps upload. He arranged for one of their engineers to give me a home visit this morning.
The engineer arrived at 08.30am this morning and we went through the problem. He did a number of tests showing me that there was in fact nothing wrong with the Superhub 2 router as it was getting between 185 & 204Mbps download speed on his testing equipment. He said th... Read more

A real pleasure to deal with. We would certainly recommend them.
We just wanted to thank Tom for the outstanding [service] he delivered. Not only did he track down new stock when the original item we were interested in sold out but he also spent time checking sizes and colour options for us. To say we were fussy would be an understatement - Tom took all this in his stride whilst maintaining a great sense of humour. He was a real pleasure to deal with. If only all suppliers were as cheery!
When the gifts arrived (early), we were very impressed. The quality and packaging were superb and the colour matching was spot on. We have received compliments and thanks from every Client we have given a gift to. We are delighted.
We would not hesitate to use PG Branding again and we would certainly recommend them.

The Chicago teachers strike is over, but the public didn�t win. Schools will still transfer bad teachers to other schools because it�s nearly impossible to fire them. When bad teachers go from school to school, principals call it �the dance of the lemons.� It would be funny if those teachers didn�t slowly wreck children�s lives.
The basic issue is: Who decides how to manage a workplace? Unions say it�s good that they protect American workers from arbitrary dismissal and make sure everyone is treated equally.
But it�s not good.
Rules that �protect� government workers from arbitrary dismissal and require everyone be treated equally are bad for taxpayers and �customers� � and even union workers themselves.
But this is not intuitive. Union workers certainly have no clue about it.
At a union rally, I asked union workers if it bothered them that slackers are paid as much as good workers. The activists actually said, �There is no slacker,� and that union rules mean less productive colleagues are helped, �brought up to speed.�
C�mon, I asked, aren�t there some workers who are just lazy, who drag the enterprise down?
�No!� they told me.
The union activists were also quick to say that unions built the middle class, that without unions, greedy bosses would lead a �race to the bottom� and pay workers next to nothing. �There would be no weekend, or eight-hour day!� they told me. �All that came from unions!�
Workers� lives improved in America because of free enterprise, not because of union rules. Union contracts helped workers for a while, but then they hurt � even union workers � because the rigid rules prevent flexibility in response to new market conditions. They slow growth. And growth � increasing productivity, which leads to higher wages and new opportunities � is what is best for workers.
In 1914, Henry Ford doubled his employees� wages to $5 a day and cut their workday to eight hours. He then hired more people. He didn�t do this out of benevolence. As Adam Smith wrote in �The Wealth of Nations,� �It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.� It was in Ford�s interest to increase his company�s profits, and to do that he needed to attract the best workers he could find. When companies compete for workers, they get higher wages and better working conditions. Ford shortened the workday to better compete. Then GM and Chrysler matched Ford�s deal to keep up. Workers won.
All without a union. It wasn�t until 30 years later that the UAW appeared and unionized the workers. Union membership gave them good benefits for a while, but then growth slowed and stopped. That sure didn�t help workers. Consider what happened at GM. Over the past 20 years, much-less-unionized Toyota created 15,000 jobs � in America, not in Japan. Over that same period, GM lost 400,000 American jobs. One reason GM shrank was union rules. How�s that good for workers?
Of course workers have a right to unionize � it�s part of freedom of association. But to be effective, that right needs a free-market environment. That means no compulsory membership � free association, not forced association. Second, enterprise must be truly free and competitive, which means no privilege or favoritism from government � no bailouts and crony capitalism.
When enterprise is competitive, workers acquire more bargaining power because multiple employers bid for their services. Also, self-employment is a real option because there are no government barriers to entry prevent it (like licensing, zoning or complicated taxes and rules). As the great economics writer Henry Hazlitt pointed out, free unions can play a constructive role when they have to attract members by offering valuable services, such as information on the latest market conditions. But the market must be free in all respects.
Today, workers should know the downside of unionizing. It�s not just the cost of their union dues. It�s the opportunities lost in union shops because the rules limit entrepreneurs� ability to change, adapt and grow. It�s that freedom � free enterprise � that gives America and workers the power to prosper.

"Bloodfire Quest: The Dark Legacy of Shannara" (Del Rey), by Terry Brooks
"Bloodfire Quest," the second book in the trilogy that started with "Wards of Faerie," explodes from the first page. And the action doesn't stop until the novel's cliffhanger ending.
Most middle books in a trilogy have a lot of filler to stretch the story over three books. Not this one. Author Terry Brooks doesn't waste a word in this intense and exhilarating fantasy.
Reading "Wards of Faerie" will help with the nuances of "Bloodfire Quest." The setup from the first book forces various characters to accept their fate, and everyone questions their true destiny.
Several quests happen simultaneously throughout the novel, and all of them are essential to the story and the world that Brooks has built. The author balances character development with intense action, and he has a gift for creating characters the reader cares about.
Brooks is one of the best fantasy writers in the business, and "Bloodfire Quest" is better than its predecessor. Fortunately, readers will only have to wait until July, when "Witch Wraith," the final book in the series, will be published.

It might not seem like much of a winning streak, but both the Quakes and 66ers are on streaks.
The Quakes held on for an 8-7 victory at Visalia on Friday, their third in a row. Meanwhile, the Sixers won their second straight, 6-2 over visiting Bakersfield.
It marked the first time since last July 3-4 that both the Quakes and Sixers simultaneously won back-to-back games.
On Friday, Darwin Perez was 4-for-4 and Roberto Lopez drove in four runs for the Quakes, but they almost let an 8-5 lead slip away in the ninth.
Visalia loaded the bases on a single, double and a walk with on outs against Eddie McKiernan, who entered the game with seven straight scoreless appearances. A fielder's choice scored one run, and a balk scored another and put the tying run on second. But Kyle Hurst replaced McKiernan and retired the next two batters on a foul popup and a strikeout to earn his first save with the team. With a game time of 3:36, it went too long to make it into Saturday's print editions.
The Sixers meanwhile, got 13 hits, including four from Nick Buss in the win over Bakersfield. Tony Delmonico homered and JonMichael Redding (2-2) allowed two runs in six innings.

RIP Spock – Live Long and Prosper0
Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed
Welcome to the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast. This week not much came out. Will Smith made a con movie called Focus. It's fine, but like most cons, the con is sloppy and it's not necessarily entertaining enough to take your focus off of the con like "Oceans 11." Then there was a horror film called "Lazarus Effect" that Josh hated so much he called it potentially the worst movie he's ever seen.
Our beloved/hated film critic Sean Patrick had a near death experience this week. He had a massive asthma attack that put him in the hospital for six days. At one point he actually lost the ability to breath and had to have machines breath for him for several hours. He's back and he's doing better so hopefully he stays that way.
We lost Leonard Nimoy famous as Spock from "Star Trek." RIP Spock, "Live long in prosper."
The Academy Award winning film "Still Alice" also got released in theaters. Julianne Moore won best actress. Sean thinks it was a great performance, but had three or four other performances he preferred. Sean compared it to a Lifetime movie with great acting.
Our Undisputed Classic is "The Sting." Stars Robert Redford and Paul Newman make "The Sting" highly entertaining. Josh loved it the most, Sean tried to pick it a part and Bob enjoyed it.
1985 – Several movies came out. The best two movies are Woody Allen's "Purple Rose of Cairo," and John Cusak in "The Sure Thing."
