Internet browsing slow, download speed high.?

You need to clean out your system.

Do disk cleanup and defrag on a regular basis.

Spyware and adware can also cause slowdowns, make sure you have the latest updates for your anti-virus software.

Anything that uses up a lot of system resources will slow down your system also, like toolbars, or any other addons that you don't use regularly.

You might even need to max out your system memory.

BHO's (Browser Helper Objects) will also cause system slowdowns

100mbps is not your speed to the internet, its just the speed between your computer and the high speed internet box (cable modem or dsl modem). The speed from there out to the Internet is different, and much slower. Your speed to the internet is probably much closer to 1mbps. This means about 100KB a second download at top speed -- and that's only if the place you're downloading from can work that fast. Filesharing networks are a lot slower, often, because it depends on how many other people have the file you want, and aren't full with downloads from other people. Uploading is almost always slower than downloading. Usually the speed that the high speed internet company gives you is the download speed. The upload speed is usually considerably slower (like 1/4 as fast). If you've run an online speed tester and it looked okay, then there's nothign wrong with your internet connection. If pages are slow to load, it could be you have a slow computer, or other things are running that are taking up memory and CPU time.
