Why at fast.com does Forefox show speeds of 2.9 Mbps and Safari shows 49 Mbps?
I have opened both Firefox and Safari and on wireless, the speeds are performance different. It has been my recent experience that Firefox performance on wireless degrades within a few minutes fo literal connection losses to the server. I was convinced it was my card until I observed this browser differentiation. Can you find a reason? I as using premium anonymox, but up to 2-3 weeks ago it made no difference... did you guys piut in an upgrade with severe effects?

Does if make a difference if you use a direct connection and not a proxy?
However, while I appreciate the attention and support... I found the problem: Anonymox. While it works very well on changing the ISP of the browser, it eats up bandwidth like mad. I did a bit of item testing and when I stopped Anonymox, the speed differences vanished. I've since removed the software as I need not anonymity as much as I need capacity.
Thank you for your support and assistance.
