Internet connection slowing down?

It could be the processor or more correctly the processor overheating due to cooling vents on your PC casing being blocked and/or the cooling fins on the processor heat sink being so clogged with dust that eventually it can't do its job and the AMD processor will slow itself down as a protection measure. 2 years is a long time for computers and a whole lot of dust can accumulate in that period.

Also, check you don't have an unfiltered telephone on the same line as your ADSL. I had very similar erratic problems on my ADSL connection and was absolutely confident all my phone handsets around the house ran off a central filter I had installed. What I didn't know was a previous owner had run one telephone directly from the main inlet and I didn't find this out until I traced out the wiring in the roof.

A quicker way to hunt down the problem is to disconnect one phone at a time for a day or two and see if the problem disappears. You can't just disconnect and immediately see the problem go, it seems it comes on slowly and will disappear slowly.

My ISP arranged to have my line tested (before I discovered the errant phone handset) and apparently the signal-to-noise reading with my house connected to the incoming line was 2dB (and about 20dB when they disconnected my house). I am absolutely stunned that with only 2dB of difference between the desired signal and the undesired noise the phone handset was creating that I had any kind of Internet connection at all !!!

As an aside .... I have since changed over to a "naked" DSL plan and immediately found the phone filters CAUSED problems rather than fixing them as they do in an ordinary ADSL connection.

The bottom line is there's probably some little thing sitting quietly in the background, smiling at you but causing all these problems. You need to isolate equipment from the line, blow away the dust and generally look in places you never expected and hopefully you'll eventually track down this annoying problem.

5 Common Problem’s that slow a PC down

1. Cluttered Registry.

2. Too many start up programs.

3. Full Hard Drive.

4. Not enough Memory.

5. Spyware & Malicious Programs.

These are things that should be cleaned up on your PC. Power refresh your modem and router, unplug both from power fo 30 seconds or more, then plug one in at a time and let it cycle up to the state it was in, then plug in the other and do the same.

In the mean time you have cleared all you browser history, temp files, junk files, defrag'd your hard drive, scanned for malware / spyware and antivirus scans.

In browsers like IE or FF you can check a box to "clear history" every time you close the browser. Electrical interference can only occur if you have you cable running across an electric fence? Parrallel to the fence is ok, but any other way it will induce. If it is in you house then the person who installed the cabling was not qualified, there are standards to be observed, as to how close computer cabling can be from electrical wiring and he should have a cablers ticket. AMD processors are ok. See if there are any BIOS updates available for your computer? This could help? try asking your ISP for a "bit error rate test" to see if you are experiencing street cable faults? Ok for normal voice but not high speed data?

I have Face Same Issue with My Bsnl Connection.But You should Check Your ADSL Modem Work Properly and Network Adapter Card.Major issue are Solved by change these hardware.Otherwise Bsnl

Connection is Superb.and If this Problem still remaining then you can contact hadware engineer and Bsnl Isp Customer Care.Your Problem will be solve out.

No matter how fast your Internet connection is, there are times when things will slow down to a crawl. This article will help you sort out what kinds of things can go wrong, learn what you can do about them, and discover how to get the most from your Internet connection.

nah, the internet connection has nothing to do with your computer unless it is infested with virus or something like that. you can run some tests tough at speedtest.net if in doubt. But mainly if you are downloading stuff that's an issue.

before u reinstall or uninstall anything, try to change th priority of ut browser, by doing control alt delete, open the task manager, then go to processes and find ur browser, right click and go to change priority, set to realtime if u can if not high will do. this is a last resort, and DO NOT DO THIS TO MULTIPLE PROCESSES AT ONCE IT WILL CAIUSE UR SYSTEM TO BECOME UNSTABEL AND POSSIBLY CRASH!!!! but as long as u do it sparingly and ddont do it to a bunch of processes u shud be ok.
