Download Speeds

Goodwood have made every effort to make this site as user friendly and speedy as possible. In the United Kingdom, we are currently on the cusp of a revolution in download speeds. ADSL (broadband) is now available from virtually all providers. It can speed up your connection by as much as 20 times! We have tried considering both ADSL and Modem users during the development (a difficult task indeed!). The video "time to start" times have been balanced against quality. We are now leaning towards broadband as most of ours users are requesting web 2.0 content and advanced online services. We think we've got the right balance…

Multimedia

This site is packed with multimedia elements. We have used the latest encoding techniques to improve your online experience.

We have used Adobe's Flash on the site. In the unlikely event of you not having Flash Plug in/ActiveX Control follow the link below to install it. It is free!

Some of the in depth articles use Adobe's Acrobat Plug in/ActiveX Control. This improves the look of the documents and improves the functionality of your browser. In the unlikely event of you not having Adobe Acrobat follow the link below to install it, and it's also free!

Video content is now also controlled by Flash so you no longer need the Apple QuickTime Plug In

We have used Adobe's Flash on the site. In the unlikely event of you not having Flash Plug in/ActiveX Control follow the link below to install it. This will take around 40 seconds on a 56Kb Modem and it's free!
