Answer 1

download Mozilla Firefox 3, it is way faster then internet explorer, which is probably what you are using right now.

Answer 2

Your internet might possibly be slow because it is wireless that, might be the biggest problem. I dont have wireless, so I dont know that if you move the modem closer to the computer it might go faster... I'm guessing its a laptop, and when ever I use lap tops the internet is always slow so, I dont know if thats the problem either. Another problem might be that you are using a bad internet service provider, I us shaw, and personally it works great! Sorry if this didn't help and if it did, great! (Spelling mistakes are fine, sorry if I have any! :P)

You should reinstall the antivirus thing you never know if anything could have viruses or not it happened to an old computer that we still have in our family.

Spyware

Trojans

Registry litter.

Use these, I have for years.

When you get there, scroll down the page until you see"Tools Needed for this fix:"

Then click the "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" link to download the software.

Install and update the program.

Reboot into "Safe Mode".

Then run the scanner and remove anything it finds.

Answer 5

can they re-set your connection

we went from 2 mbps to 200+mbps when they re-set it

Answer 6

ok look. i got wireless and EVERY SINGLE ONE IS SLOW! 54 mbps means 54 megabytes per second. which is seriously pretty much what im running on right now. also when your wireless connector is hot your internet will get alot slower. try putting a fan by it or if yours is very tiny like mine and not like a linksys 1 then you can out it in the freezer for a quik cool down. if you do that, dont keep it longer then 10 mins bcuz if you do it will become wet mostlikey mess up othe chips inside. if you want faster internet i suggest comcast or road runner. tehy run at about 400-500 mbps

Answer 7

Try unpluging the power cord from your modem and plugging it back in after a minute.Hope this helps.

Answer 8

If you are using Vista it may be that your Shockwave Flash Player is slowing you down. It does it that to mine, so I always disable it until I need to use it. Go to Tools, Manage Programs, Disable Shockwave.
