Sporting events I think, as others have said.

You may find it useful to do a speed check. Unfortunately, many of
these speed tester sites use java or javascript or flash, so are not
RISC OS friendly, but require a PC or linux etc. Some sites are:

http://speedtester.bt.com/
http://www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk/
http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/
http://www.speedtest.net/

Thanks for these, and I'll keep them safe. Today, as I said in t'other
post, things are going swimmingly.

With best wishes,

Peter.
