Hi There I was just experimenting with Ad Subtract (+ -) & I noticed this, when I go to test my modem download speed <a target="_blank" href=http://homepage.eircom.net/~leslie/testpage/testpg56.htm>http://homepage.eircom.net/~leslie/testpage/testpg56.htm</a> with Ad Subtract On I get <font color=blue>3190</font color=blue> approx. But with + - switched Off doing the same modem D.L. test I was getting <font color=red>4100</font color=red> approx. I'm a bit pee'd finding this because I really like + - it stops plenty of ads & pop ups. . . . I guess we have to work out if we want speed or quality. . . Bye All

Hally, These are my results;
on-42640 cps
off-40190 cps

Also download times were different everytime I tried it.

A slight difference stratcat250 but you get the drift, I had a bigger gap I wonder if its because I've got + - Pro &lt;&gt; It always fluctuates the reading as the Net changes second by second because of traffic. . . thanks for your reply!

I'm using +- SE. I'm going to upgrade soon so I'll let you know what happens then.

Hally, I just ran the test again. Check out these results. What a difference.
