Internet being incredibly slow

[wotevajjjj]

guys, i'm gobsmacked...

How can my internet suddely gone so slow ? youtube takes forever, can't play online, downloads aren't going quick eighter..

I've got 40mb/s dl/4mb/s ul internet,but because of an old router speedtest says i'm limited to 13mb/s. which is ok i guess...

How can everything be so slow if speedtest says it's ok ? i got another pc with lan connection to that router and get 39.7 mb/s.

The problem occured this week and i haven't done any hardware changes.

Drivers are up to date aswell..

Please help me out here as it's very very annoying

ISP could possibly be doing maintenance? Have you looked for any news on that?

Possible virus/malware?

 

[wotevajjjj]

Haven't got an antivirus tbh .. what do you recommend ?

 

[SieB]

I use MSE and malwarebytes.

it's peak internet time from 1600-2000hrs

kids doing homework

people getting home and checking stuff

etc

do a speedtest now and then do one after 2200hrs and watch the difference

microsoft security essentials (MSE) is free for legit versions (sp1) on win7

i use nod32 business edition - it is NOT free - but is considered one of the best

AVG is free, I use Kaspersky.

atm 2.3 up and 17 down on this pc, other one doing 47 down 2.3 up so almost certainly my pc

i'll try the MSE one first now

edit: MSE has no effect, trying avast now

is it an nvidia chipset?

have you installed the nvidia ethernet drivers? it will then show up in the nvidia control panel

i had the same problem with my old M4N82 deluxe - without the drivers installed i was getting 25% throughput

nope, no nvidia chip, i'm gonna try pulling the wifi card out now, maybe an oldskool solution but maybe it works

done trying, still the same, didn't have a single virus/ malware after 9 months of downloading stuff without protection

hope the same goes for kids

Chuck a LAN card in it?

Try a different port on the router or a different LAN cable?

how fast can you transfer a file from the other PC to your PC?

Not using the internet will determine if it is the internet or a local problem.

I had kinda the same problem only it was my wireless at fault. Definitely try a different port.
