Please provide the hardware attributes of the terminal server and what applications are installed there.

I think the problem is our Comcast business internet. Even though its fast, worst speedtest result so far has been 4.4mbps download, 1.6mbps upload. However 1 service claims the quality of service is at 47%, not good enough for voip (not that we are doing voip). I am thinking we need higher quality internet service. Other than the 1 test that claims our quality is poor, is there any other test I can perform on our internet connection that might reveal the quality of the connection (I am guessing quality is dropped packets). Maybe there is another solution. Currently we host our MS office data files and a construction accounting system based on VB and VFP. If we eventually go with a hosted accounting system, maybe we can use another solution for sharing the data files, other than terminal server. As a former VFP appdev guy, I can tell you that VFP and TS/Citrix really just don't play nice together. VFP was NOT designed for multi-user systems like TS. When you say "slow Terminal server speeds", what do you mean? Slow screen draws, slow app response, slow printing??? Have you run PerfMon or OpsMgr to verify performance counters? Are you running TS 2003 or 2008? x86 or x64? Roaming profiles? Redirected folders?
