Hi guys!
Here is my problem: SLLLLOW internet connection. Meaning, I can go online and surf BUT it takes forever to load a webpage. Example, to load Google.com, it will take more than 10 minutes for that 1 page to load up completely. Also, if I try to DL a 5MB file, it will take 9 hours. It doesnt make sense.
A little background: My ISP is Cox and the modem was purchased at frys (brand: Best Data) I have 6 PC on a LAN sharing the same IC. At first when this problem flourished, I though it was just network traffic doing its thing, but then I realized I was the only computer surfing the net. This problem happened 2 weeks ago and has the speed has slowly degraded to the point of where its driving me insane.
To elimante any possiblities that could be causing the problem, I hooked up one clean, virus and adware free computer to the Modem bypassing the network. reset the modem, Released/renewed my IP, once an IP was established, I pinged my ISP Gateway 30 times. With an average packet loss of 6% to 13%, I also had my ISP ping my computer and yet they can still communicate.
At that time, I figured hmmm, maybe my pc is wacked out. So, Ill try my laptop and see if the problem still persists. And yes it does. I also tried another computer, and yes the problem still exists. Slow internet connection, but yet good packet transmitals.
I had that cox tech inspect our line and he said its fine and the DB signals are within spec. I really understand what the hell is going on here. Could it be that the Cable Modem is on its last leg?
Any input from you Smart people would be great!!!! :t
