SBC DSL ( major slow down in performance )

[keldron]

Hey all I'm kinda new to the forums ( lol my first post ) but I was wondering if any of you guys can help me a bit

I'm running Windows XP Media Edition ( no SP2 )

My Computer specs are as follow :

Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz

512 Ram ( two 256 )

256 ATI radeon 3D card

My Modem type is speedstream 5360 Ethernet ADSL modem

Anyways long story short recently I moved to a new place and I decided to move my dsl service to the new place as well everything seemed to be fine but recently I'm experiencing major slow downs in performance , for example yahoo.com will take around 1-2 minutes to load which never happend before 

I ran some tests on my dsl and here are the results

I did run Adaware and spybot S&D as well as Norton ANtyvirus to check for any possible spyware / viruses and after scan I deleted all of them ( there was like 3 or 4 )

Also I believe I have to mention that while wiring my computer to the phone outlet I ran out of cable so I took this kinda extension and hooked the end of the cable to it to make the overall cable length longer ... I dunno if that might be the issue ? shall I use just one cable to connect my dsl modem with the phone outlet ?

Also I called SBC on severall occasions and all I got was delete you cookies and offline content or power cycle your modem I did all that and it migth have helped for like 2 minutes after which my speed went down again .

Any help / suggestions you guys migth have would be greatly appreciated

Thank you keldron

you should /definitely/ rewire your connection. also make sure the splitter is installed correctly.
