Hi,
@speedtest: runs high on US servers & local servers. @youtube: Hmmm... I dunno about that, I experience this daily and it shouldn't take long for youtube or other big name sites to slow down. @DNS: I'm not using smartbro's dns servers anymore, just opendns. I've set the preferences for opendns not to restrict any sites.
