if you can't tell what the numbers it tells you mean, paste them here, and we can tell you what they mean.

halfadaily, your instructions do not work for me.
I am on Telewest cable broadband and know a lot about computers but still cannot get my connection speed from your instructions.
1) I am on "Classic menu" so do not get a "Connect to"
2) Even if I change to "Start menu" (Right click on Start then properties) I still do not get a "Connect to"
3) To display "Connect to" I have to right click on Start, then choose Properties, then choose Customize, then choose Advanced, and under Network Connections select " Display as Connect to" menu.
4) After all that, when I right click on my active connection I STILL do not get my Broadband speed.
Does it work for anyone else ?
Head for control panel and "Network & Dial Up Connections". Fire up the dialogue for your current connection and it should give you the speed as one of the items (3rd from top on mine!).
You might have the little tv screens active on the tray next to the clock on the bottom right of your display. Give that a click to go straight to the connection dialogue.
