The download is excllent, I have 512 kb DSL connection with linksys wireless modem.
I just want to know if this is a problem with the ISP or some settings in the modem.
can anybody help ??? :)

but the download is excellent
I have transfer rate = 62 kbps

Answer 1

I assume That you have installed all the "little filter thingies" on your Telephone lines, not the DSL line.

If you're sure it's not your router, call your ISP. If the same problem exists using an Ethernet cable, it's not your router WiFi settings.

I had a similar problem, with a cable based ISP, a few years ago and they had to replace all the underground wiring in our neighbourhood.

With DSL, it could be as simple as a poor phone connection in your house or out on the street. Ask them to do an "impedence test".

Why is my computer slow? I bet you have asked yourself that very question time and time again. And for the most part, you probably just can not figure it out. Ask the guy next to you, and they probably don’t have the foggiest idea either. I mean, you may get the “spyware” answer, but this most likely is not the case.For most of the times, it really is just bad files in your registry files. Corrupted or missing registry files can make your computer too slow.
Any time you make a change to any of your computers settings and surfing online, they are stored and updated in the registry.Over time,the registry can grow to enormous proportions and full of junk and errors.So if you run a program,it will take a long time to required registry file and sometime it cant find its registry files since regsitry errors and then it has to sit there.So your computer will slow or freezing.
To speed up your computer,you need to fix your registry files. And I guarantee you have errors in the registry files that cause computer slow.Fixing these errors will dramatically increase the speed of your computer.Sometimes can up to 300% or more! All you need to do is run a registry repair software called registry cleaner, and get your Windows registry cleaned up and optimized. Registry cleaner not only can clean registry files,registry errors,but also can clean temp files,history and other disk junk.You will no longer have a slow computer.

Now you can check out http://www.computerspeed.info/index.php?t=speed2 ,there are reviews of top rated registry cleaners and a clear guide to tell you how to speed up your computer.And from there you also can get a free scan to fix any problems such as computers slow,computer freezing, computer errors and getting the blue death screen.
Hope that can help you.

Answer 3

It is very unlikely that the settings in your Linksys are to blame.

First try going to DSL Reports (first link below) and check your speed. If it is way below the 512Kb that your ISP says you are supposed to get, then call your ISP.

Many websites are run off very underpowered servers. The sites you are visiting may be slow. If pages at www.google.com come up fast, then it's probably the sites you are visiting that are the issue.

Answer 4

First test the speed of your connection. I suggest http://www.speedtest.net/ which is a free site and very easy to use. You may be on a 512 plan, but this may not be the true speed, so test and find out. As you stated keep running your anti Virus program and all SpyWare programs and keep them up to date. Clean out your history and temp files.

Answer 5

try cleaning out temporary files, history, cookies, saved passwords, and web information,

you can do this ( on i.e ) by right clicking the i.e icon then choosing properties and it will be under browsing history

also try this for free for 30 days - ( fully working until the 30 days is over ) http://www.tuneup.de/en/products/tuneup-utilities/

it cleans your registry, optimises your computer and lots more,

Answer 6

I think its only the problem of the isp.
