First point of call would be to go to User CP and set up to minimal functions on page options.

Second place to go is www.cablenut.com and download an optimizer for your internet connection. This alters the registry so your internet will run at the optimium speed.

 

What's the matter with the speed. Seems to run just as fast as the old scoobynet as far as I can see (but then again I'm on broadband so perhaps that helps)
