Thread: Why is my internet so slow...

  1. #11
    Those tests are bullshit unless you pause all downloads/uploads and open programs (stuff in your task bar and everything)

    No d00d they arent and I did close all that shit. I used to beat T3, yes I said T3. Now I can't even beat the slowest dial up out there. It can be that much bs to put me under dial up even if I was running shit, I'm on Comcast CABLE internet.

    And btw u have no idea what I'm talkin g about till u actually use my internet. Lately it is worse than dial-up. FST takes a good 5 mins to load a page. Those tests arent bs.

    Yes, they are less accurate when you are downloading/uploading.

    1. Firewall, spyware, adware.
    2. Start > Run > type in cmd and hit enter. Type in "ipconfig /release" then "ipconfig /renew".
    3. If still not working, reset your cable modem and router (unplug power to both then plug back in).
    4. Call you ISP.

    tis alittle something we call "LAG".Lag is a decrease in bandwith due high server traffic or poor connection.It happens to everyone at any time,no matter if youre on a T-based line or 56k we all get it.Try cleaning out your cache and power cycling your modem out,followed by a restart.Then try it.Tell then adieu

Even when I dled my COD patch I got only a top speed of probably 15 KB/s. WTF. I have Comcast Cable Internet and I share my connection but its never been this bad. Also I am connected to our home network wirelessly but still it was never even close to this bad. Before I got upwards 200KB/s easily dling AIM and such other programs. Whats wrong?

    This is why i always stick with the Cables . I've had experiences with wireless cards , these things would just disconnect from the internet after like 15 mins... Wired once didn't...
