In XP you could get a rough idea of a dial speed by running your cursor over
the Internet connection in the system tray. How can you do this with Vista?

You posted this exact item two days ago. What makes you think the
answers will change?

I'm sorry but the post did not appear this end. This is not my computer I
am on Broadband, this is for a friend.

Thanks B.W.

P.S. Here in Australia our Broadband can be expensive especially for
retirees.

Yo! Bozo!

A lot of places don't have access to broadband unless a satellite dish
is installed.
