Internet running slowly
17 Answers
Hey,
Not sure what else to do. The ping test thingy seems to be saying that my speed is ok, I've cleared the cache and yet still, internet is running slower than a very slow thing.
Any suggestions please? (Not too technical, I'm more of a 'idiots guide' person!)
Cheers

The ping test thingy looks at my download/connectivity speed I think. The ping bit says 90, it hasn't finished checking my download speed. In fact, I had to refresh it because I think it foze.
Hotmail seems to be the thing that is working quickest for me at the moment, even looking at questions on AB is taking an age to load and I can forget looking at youtube or iplayer.
Does that make more sense?

Download superantispyware and run a full scan with it, deleting whatever it finds http://www.superantispyware.com/ ( the free version) and see if that helps at all.
Have you tried to see what download and up load speeds you are getting ? You may not have the best DNS server , To check this download a program called NameBench and run it. It searches the internet for the best server both local and global and recommends the best for you. www.namebench.com If you haven't got your best server you can change it.What OS are you using?
It's a private one for the nursing residences I live in. The ping test when I posted this was showing 90ms and a speed of 20kb for downloads I think which I guessed was why the connection took so long. By the time I shut down, it was up to 700kb and I think 50ms. I didn't see anyone I knew to ask if they were also experiencing problems.
I'm going to have another go later this evening on the test and hopefully I'll see someone, but so far, I'm thinking it's the internet provider people and not my laptop which is the main thing I was concerned about.
