Why is my internet so freaking slow?! Its running at like 1Kbps! Im wiredly connected to my router with my laptop. Anyone know a good way to make your internet faster? I know its faster then this. Btw, im using Firefox 2.0.0.5 and... umm... I dunno.

I had this problem once. I just turned my computer off and back on over and over until it started running normally.

Hmmmmm. Try moving closer to the router.

The only other reason I can think of: Are you running any torrents or other RAM-munching processes?

What are you using? Cable? DSL? If you're running through a phone line I'll smack you. Oh, and service provider?

Well it's good to see you all even offering any advice. At least I offered a solution, no matter how bad, or SARCASTIC, that solution was.

What virus scanner do you have?

Because Norton eats up your RAM just like Rossie O' Donald eats Twinkies.

Yeah, just wait until your scans are done. You should be back to speed in no time.

I agree with you, though that wasn't any better.

To the topic starter: I think you're best bet would be to contact you're local ISP, and ask them what the problem could be. They're the ones who manage you're internet connection, so they're the best people to go to if you want a solution to you're problem.
