Breh, this is a brand new fukking computer.
cable is weird. one bad end on a piece of cable in your house can make the while thing shyt the bed. it could even be in a neighbor's house and feed noise back to the tap. could be fine for several years then all of a sudden give problems.

the problem with cable is its a closed system and if it doesn't remain that way you can start having problems when stuff gets in there at the different frequencies.

anyway once the router is bypassed and a line is coming straight out of the modem to the pc and its pulling speeds like that you call the cable company.

:sadcam: if that's not the case and somebody is going ham on torrents or something

Removing the router from the equation would also eliminate this just for testing sake.

:snoop: i just thought of something too @Thatrogueassdiaz yall got a pasword on your WIFI right???

something is using your bandwidth and you need to get rid of it.

the scans should sort it all out.

OKay, I ran the speed test again. Things looking better :whew:

Ping: 33ms, Download Speed: 22.45mbps, Upload Speed: 9.93mbps

:damn: how did you go from less than 1mbs to 22mbs??? What did you do
removed malware through malwarebytes. Imma put my mom on.

What have you been doing on a new box to get two threats?!?

Downloading torrents. Also downloading porn using Ant downloader for Firefox. As soon as I saw that my internet speed had improved I downloaded a gloryhole swallow compilation video :smugfavre: shyt is 3.42gb tho lol. So I'll have awhile

My internet speed has been horrendous these past few weeks. I can't download shyt; I barely can surf TheColi like I want to. Comcast says that I can buy more bandwith, but they said that part of the problem is that I play my ps3 online while I'm surfing, and that slows it up. I never had that problem before, though. We just exchanged our router for a newer one, but I still think the router is the problem. We have a Netgear :flabbynsick:

Will buying a new router help? I don't want to trade in our router for another piece of shyt. If so, what brand should I go after? Any particular suggestions?

that's total bullshyt. I have comcast, and I have the following devices accessing internet and my shyt is still fast as hell:

2 PS3
1 PS4
1 smart tv
2 roku boxes
2 ipad
1 ipad mini
1 blackberry
3 iphones
1 ipod touch
3 laptops
1 printer
1 desktop
