netmasta thanks for welcoming me to the community
I will give broadband optimizer a try this weekend hopefully that will help! I have not installed any new software or hardware this month so that is not the issue.
dlewis23 no spyware or virus issues as well because when I take laptop to a cafe or over to a friend's house the speed are normal.
All in all I think the issue lies with Comcast for I have this issue whether or not my connection runs through the router or from the modem directly into the computer and if there was any connection issue from the modem or router it seems that my whole system will be affected and not just the download speed.
