I think the most important thing to take care of are the Spywares and the Adwares, which greatly slow down the internet connection as they keep on downloading data from the internet without your knowledge .

Open Internet Explorer, to to 'Tools" and delete ALL temp files and cookies. Go to microsoft.com and download popup blocker and programs that stop ads...and find something to quarantine cookies. Then go to Symantic.com, run a virus scan. If you have virus, download Norton Antivirus (will cost money). If you have decent cable service, your machine should fly. And, reset you cable modem...(turn it off, then back on. ) If you are still running slow, call the cable supplier...that speed should be at 356K or faster. Good luck

Best thing to do first would be to do a virus scan and then a spyware scan, and eliminiate the viruses or spyware that comes up.

If it's wireless, make sure it's secure with password protection and such. If this isn't the problem, make your cable ISP fix it.

there is nothing you can do about it. Its your server which providing you slow internet. But if your server is providing good service then probably you have some problem with your pc. try defragmenting your pc, updating your windows and then try it
