Oh yeah, that was one of the first things that I tried right after doing a hard reset on everything. It made only a very minor difference.

Thanks to everyone so far for all the suggestions to try and correct my problem. Here is an update on what I have done so far. I have done a hard reset on every piece of gear by powering them down and then back up in order? (modem, router, pc). Scanned for viruses using my McAfee- Results= no viruses found. Found KRC Anti-Spyware Tutorial http://www.greyknight17.com/spyware.htm#adaware and did everything that was suggested right down to "Things to do before running HijackThis". Also installed SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard. I've run the TCP-Optimizer and reset all the Cablenut setting. All of this and so far no major changes. Below are my latest speed tests. I guess the next thing is to re-install the OS unless anyone has any better suggestions. :::..

The other day I posted that I was having a major problem with upload speeds, see Sudden Unexplained Slowdown. However, the problem gets even weirder since I tested the other machine here in the office. Both machines are running through a D-Link DI-604 router to and RCA DCM305R Digital Broadband Cable Modem. The strange part (at least to me) is the large disparity in upload and download speeds between the two machines. The stats for both machines are pasted below. I could really use some help figuring out how to fix this. Download Speeds Computer #1 :::..

I'm running 2 computers wired through router. Been running fine with more than acceptible speeds until just a couple of days ago. Comcast says download speed 4Mbps and upload 384Kbps. I just tested again this morning, results below. The odd thing is there was a dramatic jump in download speed from yesterday. :::..

I am a photographer and do a lot of uploading to various sites using WS_FTP Pro. Yesterday my upload speeds suddenly seemed to drop dramatically. I found this site and tested my upload speed and got the results shown below. Download speed (also shown below) also droped dramatically. I do believe I need some serious help. Any suggestions? :::..
