The disk is a WD5001AALS-00L3B2 from 2009, described as SATA 3Gbps. I guess
that is pretty slow. We've definitely tried some best-case situations, where
no one else is running any CPU hogs.
To make things more confusing, my service provider has its own speed test
site, which says I downloaded this morning at 274Mbps (compared to 53Mbps at
speedtest.net). Tomorrow I'll have my first Webex conference since I added
the 1Gbps NIC and maxed out memory. We'll see what happens.

sometimes the problem is the disk.
and what about your wife using the connection while you are using it too?
I have here 8Mbps ADSL and Webex works fine also with video
