Hi All,

Further update to my post #181. The next day I again booted up from the live CD and left the system running all day. I monitored the connection speed during activity and with no activity. The speed displayed in the connection information dialog dropped every few minutes to 1Mb/s but for a very short period (1-5seconds) and then it would jump back up to 54Mb/s.

Whenever I saw it at 1Mb/s I tried to access something on my LAN or internet and the speed jumped back to 54Mb/s. Whether it was because of activity on the laptop or because it was anyway jumping up within few seconds, difficult to tell. At all times I was able to use internet at normal speeds. I could not do a speed test because I was not able to install flash plugin for some reason , maybe because I was booted from a live CD.

Still not confident I want to upgrade to 10.10 so will stick with 10.04.

Thanks,
Raju.
