Just wanted to let you know, the internet completely died not too long after I posted that message. Called Comcast the next day. They got a technician out earlier today and it turns out that the modem they gave me was faulty. They swapped it out with a new one and everything is back in tip-top shape. Thanks for the reply's though, I really do appreciate it. And in case you were wondering: :::..

So I have the 6mb connection with Comcast and in the last 2 to 3 days the internet became very slow. That eventually led me here where what I found astounded me. Speeds similar to this: :::..

After I did all that, what I found was that my internet no longer worked at all for the past 5 hours. I spent a lot of time trying to get it to work, when randomly it started working again, but still at these horrendously slow speeds. So, I ask, any ideas what could be the problem? For the record, I did a bunch of virus, adware, etc. scans and cleaned my computer as well as cleaned my registry. I'm gonna give them a call some time tomorrow, assuming it doesn't get fixed by then. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
