All webpages are loading hell slow! I looked at NetLimiter and it said it was loadin at 1KB :shock: And it isn't limited :?

Any ideas what could cause this?
Using XP Home, thanks :)

Are you uploading anything or downloading anything? Also one thing to consider is your unlimited bandwidth is dependent on how busy the ISP is correct?

my net is fast yet after a day or sometimes less it goes real slow, i know i have the room and that dont help but even when i dont it can be slow, sometime you need 2 shut down ya comp and turn of ya modem for a while and let it refrsh it does help!

i have a file on how 2 uncap cable modems and its really easy to do im just a little worried as 2 whether i can get busted for it??

It's gone up to 4kb/s and they are loading faster now. The pictures take about 2 seconds which isn't bad but I thought with Cable I should expect 10 or 20kb for a page? :?

Thanks for the tip Boozy, when I reboot I'll let ya know :wink:

when i 1st had my cable pages was opening real fast and pics was opening instant, now there not so good,

a good way to test you speed it goto http://www.download.com and DL a game demo or somet from them and it gives you a accurate reading of speed

Try dumping your internet cache and temp files as well.

It's only these forums, all other sites are fine :?
I'll delete my cache, if that don't fix it I'll speed test a game :wink:

Thanks guys
