xs1 Posted February 11, 2005 CID Share Posted February 11, 2005 w00t another tampa user eh? Welcome im also using the tampa division and my speeds havnt dropped a bit. try http://housecall.trendmicro.com -Trend micro http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?productid=symhome&langid=ie&venid=sym - Symantec ( aka norton) Let them scan for viruses as well. If neither of them find anything, my want to try a different browser or manualy re-tweak your connection settings to bring you back up to speed. [edit posting speed] :::..

Swimmer Posted February 11, 2005 CID Share Posted February 11, 2005 try power cycling the modem and the router.. that should take care of any issues with either.. Trend Micro PC-cillin is a great program!! i switched from the Nortan Internet Securities products and now I boot faster and I feel better protected..
