I notice that when I do a speed test with the local host selected when I use Firefox my speeds are less than 50% of what they should be, but if I select a direct connection to the internet I get the correct reported speed.
I take it if I don’t use the local host my web shield and standard shield won’t be enabled?
If I have the local host selected does this mean I am not getting my full 10meg speed?
Also if that is the case is there any other option I can use for avast, as I don’t think the auto detect settings work with web and standard shield.
Any ideas?
Edit,
Having said that I just performed a test using this site and got results that I am quite happy with for a 10meg broadband, and that’s with the local host being selected.
