Vodafone download speeds

[modeller]

I have been trying to use my Vodafone dongle on my Advent Netbook but the results are terrible. I have difficulty getting on line and once there everything either doesn't respond or it takes ages to do so. Far far slower than the old dial -up speeds. So much so I give up . I have tried to ring Vodafone help line but after being kept on hold for 50 minutes I gave up on that as well. I tried connecting to the web at midnight when the system would be less crowded and it was slightly quicker but still very slow. Any suggestions will be welcome.

sounds to be working normally to me
