How do you guys get it to show the pic? Yep I'm a newbie.

Download Speed: 2613 kbps
Upload Speed: 900 kbps
Click to expand...

First we take a partial screenshot by pressing command > shift > 4 and then selecting the area. (the image is copied to your desktop) -- Command + Shift + 3 will take an entire screen, and Command + Shift + 4 + spacebar will take a screenshot of just one window.

Then you attach them by clicking this button. Picture 1.png

If you want to actually insert your image in with the text of the message (like I did above) you then click that button again, (after your files are uploaded) and then select the image you want to insert.

If you don't "insert" the image, it will just be placed at the bottom.

I got a new router today and I have mixed feelings with the results:

Download Speed: 3591 kbps (448.9 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 567 kbps (70.9 KB/sec transfer rate)

I have faster download, but slower upload... I mean, download is what matters, but upload is good to have faster... :(

It's not necessarily the router. You'll get different speeds on different days.
 
hmm, I pay £25 a month to Ntl for a 2mb connection, not sure bout the upload but i know its not so good.

I could have a 10mb connection for £39 a month but the restrictions on it are a bit pants.

Mine is pretty fast.
Picture 1.png

I am using my college connection at the Rochester Institute of Technology
 
313 up, 323 down.

i am using a SDSL connection rated at 384kbps by SBC.. never liked those suckers.

but it doesn't matter because i pay $10.50 a month for it ^_^
 
I fought 3 weeks straight to get this speed after my neighbor had 10x the original connection speed, or I had 1/10th of the speed. Or 150-250kbps downish

That's with 2 downloads and bittorrent hosing the connection. Normally I can pulll 6-7MB/sec from the Microsoft/Apple servers. We're right next to the BT building in London so we get 100Mbit to every room and 5Gbit out the building :-D
