I signed up for DSL service about a month ago. Lately, the speed that my computer connects is no faster than my old dial-up service. There is a speed test through my ISP that they have me run whenever I call them about the speed. Currently my down speed is around 42 (should be at least in the 300s), and the up speed is 50 (should be around 150+). The local phone company came out, did a test on their laptop, and got amazingly quick speeds (400 down and 160 up).
The funny thing is that doing a speed test on my son's computer (who is connected through a wireless router) tests out perfectly. According to the phone company (who I have to call whenever I have speed issues), everything on their end is fine and that the problem is my computer.
They suggested that I defrag my drives and run their "Speed Tweaks." Both resulted in no improvement whatsoever. The funny thing is that when I first had it installed, it was ok. 280 down and around 140 up. I have added no new software or hardware since then.
Help.........
