ngourlay the url was just to point out that you r wrong in saying defrag is not needed . in fact if you seaqrch the net u will find lot of articles to support the case.

As i stated in the begining as far as i understood the article brought out by qtel was only helping out in making the most of your present bandwidth.

It does not speak for or against upstream bandwidth crunch from qatar.

Yes since you use HFS Plus you can never appreciate what defrag does to a windows pc after its been going on for some time.

just out of curosity what was the bandwidth that you were on in uk?? if u dont mind.
