Ive rebuilt an older PC for my parents (their current pc is about to pop)
The only problem is that my download speeds on the new PC are horrid. Something seems to be limiting the connection.
The new PC is consistently slower by .5mpbs download speed. (upload is the same)
Only one PC is hooked up at a time (directly to the modem)
Ive replaced the network card in the new PC (no change)
Ive disabled the firewall (no change)
Fresh install of SP3 (no change)
Clean sweep with multiple spyware programs
Ive exhausted all my technical know-how at this point.
Before I rebuilt this new computer, the person was using dial up service...my only idea is that somewhere there is some setting that is limiting my upload-download speeds.
Its very strange because browsing web pages is super fast...just when i try and download or stream video.
Help please!
