I have noticed that since the release of version 7 the webshield often produces the problem of slower loading websites. A speedtest showed that when the shield is up I get a pingtime of around 340 ms (sometimes even with a bit of pingloss) and when I disable the webshield it’s around 35 ms. That’s a huge difference and it strongly diminishes the websurfing experience that way. Before version 7 I never really noticed this at all.
and what v7 version do you have 7.0…?
The latest version… *.1426
My ping test has remained a constant 32-36 ms. I am also using CATV service of 8Mbs.
