I was having a problem with download speeds and poste one thred about, i somehwat figured out the solution, when of the cpu processes was using up resources while i downloading causing the computer to stutter.....well before downloading i went and close a few processes and my download speed was back to normal....the only problem is that windows media files wouldnt play, it said something about updating drivers.....how do i get around this or get rid of those processes???????

I opened up task manager during the test and the syster was going crazy. It was using up alot of resources, but my upload speed is perfect???

i followed those steps but nothing has change....

Also....my uploads are normal on both the laptop and deskptop....i also compared it with other comcast user and its about the same.....somethings wrong witht the download speed with my deskktop ....

My laptop does have more ram, but  a while back my downloads would be just as dast as my laptop's. Now i get about half the speed and my pc stutters alot.....

I do have the vonage broadband phone service installed, and when i disconnect it my downloads speeds go back to normal on my desktop....when i take the ethernet cord from the desktop and put in my laptop the downloads are the same on the laptop (this is with the broadband phone on). Any suggestions....??
