Lately my internet has been downloading at approx 50kbs (and that's on a good day). I have a 4MB connection and when I called up my ISP they couldn't see a problem and recommended this site. However, when i do the test, it says my connection is 1.5mb. I've scanned my computers for any virus', trojans & spyware and all have came back negative. I can't seem to find why it is being so slow. Any help is appreciated, THANKS in advance!! Here's my stats: :::..
