clean your cookies and your temp file.Don't keep your computer on all the time. Turn it off When you are not using it. I have cable internet too.

Well it does go slow due to users on the ISP and depends on the distance from the Line Exchange. Also it depends of what broadband company your using. If you've using BT and have the Home Hub just unplug it and plug it back in and it normally speeds it up.

Get high speed cable internet...

It might be your modem. Happened to me before, but instead with Time Warner. They might have upgraded and you're stuck in the past. Call them and tell them what is wrong. Either that or your connection from main cable line is bad. It could also be a low power output to your house if you have multiple TVs/internet connections on same line.

Your internet speed is primarily a function of the quality of your connection and the speed of your computer.  However, there are some tweaks that might speed things up a little bit.  Go to http://www.dslreports.com and click on the "tools" link.  They have a test program that will help you test your configuation and suggest ways to optimize your computer for the Internet.

Here's the following reason for slow transmission speeds.\n\n1) Poor connection between you & the server you're connecting to.  Sometimes a network hub goes down & your connection has to be re-routed on lesser-used hubs as a slower speed.\n\nIf a key network hub (pretty much within 5 hops of your connection, if you're using a router) goes down, it can severely cripple (if not kill) the connection for everybody that uses it.\n\n2) You're connecting during "Internet Rushhour".  Within the US, it's normally from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time (which covers the noon hour for the major 4 time zones in the US).  This is when most of the computers are online.\n\n3) Network congestion on the server.  There's just too many people trying to get onto the network at one time or too many users are download from the server.\n\n4) Local network congestion.  This occurs when you're sharing an internet connection with others & a lot of traffic going on locally.  This may be due to a lot of audio / video streams going on while you're doing lower-bandwidth activities (like web-surfing or downloading stuff)\n\n5) Unwanted Network users.  This is possible with unsecured WiFi routers as practically anybody in range will be able to connect to it.  Unwanted users can cause local network congestion, but may be hard to notice since these users can come & go whenever they please.\n\n6) Shared Bandwidth.  If you're on a Satellite or Cable connection, you're sharing bandwidth with others (like your neighbors).  If there's too many people using the same connection at the same time, the connection speed for everybody slows down (this is similar to issue #4).\n\n7) Incorrect Bandwidth Capping.  While this is highly unlikely, it's possible that your ISP incorrectly configured your broadband modem & you're getting stiffed with a slower connection.\n\n============================================\n\nBesides issues #5 & 7, there's nothing much you can do about it.\n\nFor Issue #5, it can be remedied by securing your WiFi router through various ways (WEP / WPA encryption, MAC filtering & disabling SSID broadcasting).\n\nFor Issue #7, you'll probably want to check with your ISP to ensure that the bandwidth caps are properly set.\n\nFor Issue #4, you could try to control how others use the internet connection...  but they'll most likely blow you off unless you can control the router(s).

Note sure how you tested the speed, but you should first use a connection speed test program (many out there, for example http://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html). Your BB provider may also have a test program. \n\nIf it looks like the speed is still slow afer testing, there is little you can do on your computer (download accelerators do not help w/ large files, just web pages), and you need to call your BB provider to see if the line to your house might be noise (in which case they will automatically throttle the speed), or you are too far away from the CO (which limits the maximum speed of your connection)

it may not be your internet, but your computer that is slow.  Maybe you have a virus

Can be a physical level problem: your internet cable is properly plugged in to your computer or to the outside line.\nCan be a internet configuration problem.  If you have broadband, call your service provider.  If you have dial-up, in internet explorer, go to tools -> internet options -> connections, and make sure the configuration is correct.

well probably b/c dial-up is notoriously slow. or you might want to invest in getting an anti-virus program and maybe a fire wall. or you might want to de-frag your computer.

are you using dial-up? if you are i wouldn't know anything about it. but if you are using dsl i find it helpful to turn of the modem, wait a while, turn it on, and reconnect to the internet. i've noticed that some downloads go a lot faster than others. try the modem trick and if that doesn't work contact your interent service provider. i had slow dsl and i called my isp and there was a problem (they had to have a repairman fix it). i hope that helps. :-)

Check this link out.  It tests how fast your DSL/CABLE/BROADBAND runs.  Whichever term u use to get online..it does it :)  Hope it worls out for ya :p\n\nhttp://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/

I had the same problem with DSL.  Dial-up was acting strange too.  The phone company was pointing fingers at the ISP.  The ISP was pointing fingers at the phone company.  If cable Internet is available and you can afford it, do it!  It will solve your problem and has superior performance.\n\nChances are if you changed it ISPs, they are using the same equipment in the central office as was used with the original ISP; so changing ISPs probably could not have solved your problem.  If you go to DSL it might even get worse.\n\nIf the telephone company is unable to help you, and you probably won't be able to fix your dial up.  Cable Internet is your best bet.
