As you can see, I have shown
that IE 7 is slower than Google Chrome when testing the speed at
www.speedtest.net
Therefore in order to remove
all doubts, you should get a friend with superior hardware and OS
to connect to your cable modem and do the tests. Best is, that the
"test laptop" is running on starhub cable at the owner's own home.
This will ensure that as far as possible, you are comparing apples
with apples.
This will put to rest all
concerns that it is not because your computer is at
fault.
For example, even if your
computer's hardware is superior, maybe malware is slowing you
down.
You need to remove the wireless
capabilities of your router/modem (if possible) and to ensure that
it is not due to malware and underperforming computer to be
sure.
