Slow as molasses

I have just installed Windows Vista Beta 2 and I find the
networking/connecting to the Internet absolutely the most unfriendly version.
It is a total non sensical pot pourri I would go back to Windows 95 in a
heartbeat, before I buy Vista with such crappy networking. I have "Lightning
Speed" or "Extreme" DSL and it is absolutely slower than a downkey when it
comes to downloads. I may as well take a car down to whatever server and burn
a copy of the file I need. It would be quicker. It does this on all sites and
seems to be worse with large files.I had Win XP SP2 running and it does not
even compare. Anyone else have problems, experiences?
 
I havent had anything like that other than the entire system running
extremely slow when I had an anti virus software installed. I removed that
and its great now. Most things run faster in Vista than they did in XP on
the same computer.
 
Paul - The issue I'm having on my test machine is that access to my local
network/Intranet works fine, but access to the Internet is, as you say, "slow
as molasses." Slower than dialup. So slow that it just can't be used.

Haven't found a solution, but yours is the second post in addition to my own
that I've found so far that seems to be reporting a similar issue.
 
I installed as an upgrade after Installed my broadband conection is slower
than my 28k modem on my laptop with XP pro. If I turn off the protect mode it
is alot faster but the popup telloing me it is off is more anoying than being
slow. I did find that vista had no effect on ebay it is still as fast as
ever. I can no longer use aol 9.0 even though the tech says it works with
vista it does not recognise vista as an operating system when tring to
install. Also all of my games and programs skip like an old record. I am
going to format this computer and the a clean install and see if that makes
any difference
