    Yesterday my internet crashed and I was bored the entire day.

    I went to bed early because I had nothing to do, and when I woke up my internet was on again!

    I was so thrilled until I found out that my download speeds had been reduced by more then half their normal capacity. My upload has also suffered.

    Here is a test from moments ago:




    Here is a test from two days ago:




    So I ask you...Why does god hate me?

    WHY WOULD THEY DO SUCH A THING?

    How do I put a stop to these evil deeds?

    Flash the bios on your motherboard and re-install windies.
    Now go away.

    I've also noticed that while I am doing the speed test, my download or upload will actually decrease during the test at times.

    I didn't have this problem before.

    I am really disappointed.

    That's typical behaviour for the Comcast network.
    Your speeds will always bounce all over the place.
    Retest several times over the course of a few days and that's the sort of thing you'll see.

    Must I reinstall Wendy's?

    I also do not know how to flash my bios.

    Does this do anything for you?
