I told my girlfriend I had a job in a bowling alley. She said 'Tenpin?' I said, 'No, permanent.'

In Stu's absence - I'll help a Fair Damsel in distress!  Wink

First of all - Don't Panic!

Open the link - you don't have to log in - just ignore it!
The screen should look like the one below.  Click on the left one "Begin Test Recommended Server".  Let the dials run - and you end up with a panel like the second one - the left-hand figure shows your download speed.  Don't worry about the second, smaller figure.  The second picture shows a final result.

Hope that helps!

I'm guessing I should be thankful.  Often the speeds go down much worse, so today is a good day.

The left-hand one - it's marked "download"!  Grin

You'll get there in the end!

Mine is only 1.82 - don't understand that?  Mine doesn't look the same as you have put up, doesn't say Speedtest.Net.
