| The speed you upload is down to dozens of different variables on the

Why are the upload speeds to the same two web mail servers consistently much
faster from a different PC using the same ISP? I'm talking <5 seconds vs.
>4 minutes for the same attached file?
To explain a little further, our community is wired as a 10Mb Ethernet LAN.
The fast PC and the slow PC are on this same network about 1000 feet apart
in two different buildings. We connect to a local server that provides the
connection to a Sprint gateway.
If you care to, see my message in this thread with the subject: upload speed
to web mail vs. POP 3-New Input.
Thanks....
