Aside from the previous suggestions, do you have content filtering on your firewall? Blocking streaming media/movies/ and so on and help reduce those staff members who are hogging all the bandwidth. Here we block the general "streaming" category and that's really helped to address complaints of slowness. Tom
>>> "Murray Freeman" <mfree...@alanet.org> 11/10/2009 10:44 AM >>> Good Morning. I'm trying to determine the cause of internet access slowness here. We are a small organization of fewer than 40 employees, and use a bonded T1 line (3.0) for internet access. Our staff has complained about internet access slowness to me and I've suggested tha the problem is with the Internet, not our access. We are not budgeted to increase our access, and I'm not sure that that is the answer. Using Internet Explorer 8, I can see by the status bar at the bottom the message "waiting" and the url involved. Am I missing something here? Are there some things I can do to speed up internet access, or is the Internet just too clogged with activity?
