How fast is your DSL?

I had good luck with a 1.5Mps DSL connection, but when I upgraded to a 6Mps DSL connection, SL had serious problems. I had to drop it back to 1.5Mps and I ultimately switched to cable broadband.

As much of a pain as it seems, Echo, I would delete the current version of SL on your computer and reload a "freshly Downloaded" version. See if that helps. If that doesn't do it, I'd call support.
