Internet Explorer 6 anyone?

My browser has just offered this free upgrade. I'm currently on 5. Does anyone have 6, and if so is it an improvement or not?

So you placed designer bugs in your version Jonno! Still, who wants perfection eh?

Since this is a techie thread I have also just had Blue Yonder Broadband fitted a couple of weeks ago and I have to say I aint that impressed so far. It definitely aint 10 times faster than a phone line, infact half the time web pages dont seema any faster at all. Downloads are better mind but I think BT ADSL is better than BY. My mates have ADSL at work and it is shit hot, lightning fast.

A couple of days ago my cable modem completely lost its signal so I phoned Telewest and they said they would have a technician around this SATURDAY! This was on Sunday too. Needless to say I wasn't impressed. Thankfully the modem regained its signal but I already have reservations about BYB. Anyone else in the Heaton area having similar difficulties?

ADSL has it's own problems...i'm on it and occasionally it disconnects itself without any prompting on my part....very frustrating when you are in the middle of downloading some porn...

The speed to loading web pages can be affected by the bandwidth of the server hosting them as well as your connection...

Andy - I'm on IE6 - no probs - I used a Tiscali freebie disk to upgrade as 5 was being a bag of nails for some reason I couldn't work out.
