Hi,

So for about 3 days straight now, my internet has been very weird. It seems to be !VERY! slow, when playing any online game, my ping goes over 800 and Steam updates download at an impressive 0kb/s to 15.4kb/s. Youtube videos take hours to load, and websites too. I ran CCleaner, defragged, and ran a virus check, and everything is clean.

Any help?

Thanks.

My ISP is BT btw. (God forbid BT, but I have to put up with it.)

Try contacting them for tech support help?

If not, are you behind a router/modem?

Have you tried doing a network power cycle?

Router + Wireless/Cable, either does not change anything.

I tried that once, never doing it again.

Consider yourself lucky, they gave a me a TON of problems in the past.

My guess is you mean you have a modem+router+wireless combo. Try unplugging it and unscrewing the coax cable? If you do, wait about 30 seconds for any caps inside to discharge fully so it has no charge to keep anything alive, then plug it back in.
