renewed my contract with EE, and they promised and delivered a new router and installed it for free, which was good. Only thing is the speed seems
as slow and takes a full 5 minutes or more to open anything.
i have a relatively good but old computer could this be the reason everything is slow..

Ok emmie a couple of guys I know do it for a living, and sometimes they spend most of the time waiting for repair programs to run, so costs add up, although one has started doing a take away and repair service at a fixed cost, so he can be doing something else at home while computer is doing its thing.
Emmie, find the little local man who is an independent - should cost you around 30 squid. Ask him to do a clean-up. If you are using Windows, your machine, which doesn't have oodles of memory capacity to begin with, may well be clogged up with past Windows updates...they don't remove old ones when updating.
On my last machine, I had 44GB used out of 80. I bought my new one, an Asus, from my man and he transferred the files over - to my amazement it was 21GB out of 280 - he explaining that over half my memory on the old machine was these back-updates..... Your speed will seriously improve....

@chelle7272.....I really do Not think that CCleaner is going to help our friend emmie.
It has always been my opinion that CCleaner is dangerous unless used very carefully. It involves interfering with Windows Registry and can complicate matters to the loss of items which are important but cannot then be recovered.
I think emmie must contact a friend who can try the laptop and see what they can make of the position that prevails and then report back to us in Answerbank.
It might be a matter of repositioning the Router in relation to the laptop. Or running a Windows inbuilt 'Disc Clean-up'.
Whatever the position, I would still suggest that emmie avoids Professional Repairers until she feels that Answerbank is unable to assist her further.

guys, rather than open yet another thread, can someone explain about defragmentation - Tonyv this morning suggested this as the way to speed up my sloooow PC,
I downloaded Avast pc cleaner, but you get to a certain point where you have to pay.
Tony said that you can go to your homepage and look at Windows icon and then click on that, but i am at a loss to find the windows icon, sorry to be so thick but this really isn't my thing.
