tommie gorman Posted November 12, 2006 CID Share Posted November 12, 2006 Welcome to the forum Bacon Try reading here. Achieve the Best Performance Out of Your Computer http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-4257 Then you might try tweaking it. TCP Optimizer is easiest, but cablenut is the tweakable one. They are both there. http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-1013 Good luck and have fun, hope it gets faster for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted November 12, 2006 Author CID Share Posted November 12, 2006 Yes, I did the TCP Optimizer, and it still occasionally goes extremely slow. And the advertised speed is 6Mbps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted November 12, 2006 CID Share Posted November 12, 2006 have you done any spyware/virus scans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted November 12, 2006 Author CID Share Posted November 12, 2006 I ran AVG and came up with nothing. Maybe I should do Adaware/Spybot too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted November 12, 2006 CID Share Posted November 12, 2006 Bacon, have you tried running your AV programs in safe mode? And do you also have AVG's anti spyware? I also run Spyware Blaster and WIndows Defender. One other one I use when things are really weird is AVG's vcleaner. Also on the same site. Run all those in safe mode, (not with networking, even though it will run slower) it seems to take a few hours) and things will be begging to leave your computer.

Any ideas on how to correct this? That is exactly what i'm talking about. In one of my previous posts I said I wouldn't like my speeds being uncapped because there is no definite speed.
