Satellite Speeds

Hi,
I have recently subscribed to a company called "Broadband everywhere" (based in Reading). The upload and download speeds via FTP are acceptable, but the browsing speeds are painfully slow (worse than dial-up). The download/upload package is 512/256k.
Provider has been out to investigate but with no improvement.
Is this typical of Satellite services?
Satellite is eurobird.
 
The only tip I've heard (from Leo Laporte) regarding improving speeds is to increase the size of your TCP receive window. He increased his to 65,536 bytes - link . Here's a bit more about your apparent problem - link . There are links to registry tweaks at the bottom. To be honest though I would have thought your provider would have solved the problem if it was simple. :hrmph:

P.S. Do you have a link to your supplier's site ?
