Answer 1

Wi Fi can be very inconsistent.  It depends how close you are to a router, and how many people are using that router at the same time.  Also, because it is wireless, it is already a little slower than wired DSL or Cable.

Answer 2

Internet speeds are mostly determined by the speed of the internet connection.  Unless you are also running some other internet-intensive applications (like limewire, torrents, etc) on your machine, the speed of your browsing is directly proportional to the speed of your internet connection.

Answer 3

i dont know...same with my laptop its weird lol

i think it depends on whether you have a connect card or a wireless router

Answer 4

ohhh.. I hope you have a good virus protection program and it's current. What you are describing could be something bad. Games from SOME websites have stuff in them that was put there on purpose. Check this out first. If you already have a good program already, clear the temporary files out, and clear cookies, history, etc. It may also make sense to get a good program that repairs your registry. Good luck and AVOID the "Geek Squad". There are many others out there that charge much less are just as good.

Answer 5

A lot of internet providers restrict the amount of information you are allowed to download and bandwidth you are allowed to use, if you exceed that limit they will drop your speeds down for the remainder of the month, and it will reset at the beginning of the next month.
