    I use IE8, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera on my XP Home. I will use one for three or four days and then switch. If you rely heavily on using favorites, this can be cumbersome. I have a dozen or so favorites that I have on all of them. For anything else I just use whatever search engine I have selected as default - I change that around as well.

    They all have their pluses and minuses. I like Opera because of it's Speed Dial feature but it's imbedded IMAP e-mail is a mess. But I enjoy moving from one to the other.

    Appreciate the info

    Currently have download speed of 27.48 mbps and upload 1.93 mbps and URLs appear instantly. Should I be contented with this? Please advise. Thanks for your time.

    Using Speakeasy's speed test I get 14.4 Mbps download and 1.4 Mbps upload. If your urls load instantly, I can't imagine being unhappy with that. Most of my sites only take a couple of seconds to load. Occasionally I may run across one that takes 5 or 10 seconds but I am generally pleased with my broadband provider.

    You might want to take a look at http://www.dslreports.com/tools You can check your system and also see comparisons with other providers in other parts of the world.
