Download Problems

Quaunaut

<div class="IPBDescription">omgWTHh4x?</div> Basically, it goes like this: I used to have a d/l rate of 150kbps usually. Now its about 40-50kbps. List all the problems I may have(discluding limits by ISP). I have found that I do not have spyware, adware, or any other of the bad "ware"s out there, according to Spybot, Adaware, and Microsoft's AntiSpyware tool, so thoughtfully provided by MonsE.

Would could my problems be? Please, its just plain **** me off now. I appreciate any help you guys can get for me.

Line damage?

bad hardware connections? (as in damged wires?)

if your on cable: having to many tv's hooked up can affect it. Make sure you put the one for your interent on the first splitter off.

Also use 1000mhz or wire splitters.

This happened to me once and I know how you feel. My two questions for you are as follows: Do you have DSL? and Do you have Satellite TV?

If you have answered yes to both of the above questions, then unplug the phone line from the Satellite reciever box and that should help.

omg! I must try this! All the others have been done!

Edit: Damnit. We have that, but the phone line isn't in there.

Here's a few questions you might want to think about:

Did the drop in bandwidth occur suddenly or gradually?

Also, have you tested your network speed (over LAN only)? Would it be feasible to test your modem/router/computer at someone else's house?

Does your download rate change over a period of time, or is it relatively constant throughout the entire day/week cycle?

What have you tested your download rate with? Does using different programs/protocols affect anything?

This happened suddenly, but has been consistent like that.
