Slow internet speeds on just my laptop, please help!

[Guest Furtwangler]

So, I'm at a relatives house that has really fast roadrunner. Her computer is getting about 900kb/s down, which is great, but my laptop, whether it is wired, wireless or w/e is capping at like 200. I never noticed this before since my internet at my house is satellite and won't go higher than like 90kb/s.

I know it isn't the router, since my relatives computer is fine,  and it's not the internet for the same reason, so what do you guys think could be bottle necking my computer like it is? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks

is your laptop wireless or are u pluggin in the ethernet cord? You could plug in the cord and see if that help to help diagnose the problem.

The speed doesn't increase whether I'm using wireless or wired, which is the weird part. It makes me think it is the router or the modem, but I get the same speed from the modem itself, and the other computer gets higher speeds with both as well.

I just recently (after I discovered the problem) used CCleaner and cleaned some registry stuff, I haven't touched anything else in the registry.

Please read this topic https://testmy.net/topic-1013 , and try the cablenut program, find the CCS file that fits your connection and use it. Post the speed differences.
