Internet Connection Slow

[ripley02]

Well my internet connection was disconnected b/c of the payment and I have sent the payment and called a few days ago and the service has been restored but ever since then the connection is extremely slow. Even though I only have 56k it used to be good but ever since it is crawling at a very slow speed. now Kazaa will not even connect and any webpages i try to view don't load. does this sound like more of an ISP problem or should i try something on my pc?

Well not sure how long you were without Internet connection. Have you check your ISP website to see if perhaps there has been changing to the service. If not maybe you should give them a call and have them look into it. I doubt that it would have anything to do with your pc unless of course to made changing after it was cutoff.

Check out this article (http://www.pcnet-online.com/content/communications/200009.htm). Might have some pointers.

As for viewing pages, try cleaning out the Interent cache, history files, temp files etc....'Internet Options' in Internet Explorer....................

So what others provide..............

I have NTS communications. they are a local isp where i live. i've emailed them to see if they can look into it since nothing else helps and there have been no changes made to anything else on my computer.

They could be capping or turning down the volume on your phone line just to be cu*ts for not paying your bill on time. This would have drastic effects on your connection speed.
