My wireless Internet connection used to be super fast. However, it has been extremely slow lately. Websites take about half a minute to load and need to be refreshed a lot, the download speed drastically decreased (around 20 kb/s), and I often get timed-out or disconnected.
I have tried using some programs (TweakMaster and WinSockFix) to help boost my Internet speed but they did not help at all. I have also tried repairing my wireless Internet connection, but that did not help either.
What could be the cause of this, and is there any way to fix the problem?
Thank you very much.

I experienced that last month like you too......But i solve the problem as i found that there is a background software is updating and downloading ..... did you check whether your pc have any background task is running ?
if no , then i suggest that you switch off your modem , and restart it .....(if you have a external modem).....If this still can't solve your problem , follow the step i written maybe can help....>>>
Go control panel > Network and internet > networks connection > double click the internet icon > click support > repair connection > wait and done !
If my solution won't help , you may call your ISP internet provider and ask them .....

Internet Extremely Slow

Nothing can be done to speed it up. Your internet provider estimates how many users will be online at a given time. There is no way they could provide access to all the users at once. What you are experiencing is peek times. Numbers of hits on the same sites you surf and natural time outs if you do not get a reply within a given time. Try using it at times when the masses are not all trying to connect like, lunch hours, 5-9pm, weekends etc.
If you can never get a faster connection in off peak times then your system itself it needing to be cleaned out of spyware that runs in the background, reporting your every online habit to an advertiser. Get multiple of these programs running and poor performance because your computer is over run online.
lookup spyware programs.

Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.healthboostpc.com
It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.

Well I get this overload of temporary Internet files, worms, full directories after a while and everything just bogs down, too many resources being used doing nothing you want done. I just reformat my hard drive and re load everythin back on every 8-12 months or so and it runs like new again. Not for the feint hearted

If you are using analog and not dsl than you need to upgrade. This will help you along a bit faster. Another reason could be if you are using wireless connections, in this case, call a technician. Or the Geek squad (Best buys).

When I had that problem it turned out the signal to my broadband was weak in my area causing packet drops which means that the internet would disconnect for seconds and then reconnect and disconnect again continually. So it would appear that the page was loading slow but it was just disconnecting and reconnecting. I called my internet provider and they had to check the line but the problem was fixed. You might want to call them.

If you have an intermittent internet connection (light flashing fast) then this will cause an issue, best way is to restart for this.

This will probably fix your problem.
Set your MTU to 1490. Use DrTCP to do it.
All you need to worry about in the program is the MaxTCP setting in the lower right. Set it to 1490, reboot. Make sure you have your wireless adapter select first!

Have you done a power cycle on your router? Just unplug it from the electricity for about 60 seconds and plug it back in.
