laggy internet

Just trying to figure out why my internet has been so slow the past few day. Pages are loading very slow and I cant play any online games without constant lag and disconnections. Any advice would be much appreciated, hopefully its not malware. If needed I can give a log from HighJackThis. Thanks in advance.

Can you perform a few tests using the following: http://www.speedtest.net/

that shouldnt be a problem any of them specifically?

ok, the ping time was 34 Ms and and download speed was 10.03 Mbps


thanks again for any help

Can you do the speed tests and post the images here? Do about 3 to 4 so I can get a rough average.

how exactly do i go about putting up the pictures, is there an upload button?

On the results window to the left there is a copy forum link just hit that button.

hopefully i did this right, it kept giving me the same image every time i ran the test, so im giving you the only one it would give me

You should be getting more then that. What plan do you have?

I would try power cycling your modem which means unplugging it and waiting a minute or two then plug it back in.

I've already tried unplugging and plugging it back in multiple times.

im just going to give you the numbers being it wont allow to link to anything but the first results

Call up comcast you are getting about half of your speed download wise and about 40% of your up speed.

thank you for the help. im sorry to bug you guys first but i find that the forums are faster and usually more helpful then the actual isp.

This forum can't fix the problem. You have to contact your ISP.

With numbers like that, even if they show you are only getting a fraction of the speed ComCast may have quoted you in your plan, you should have little or no browsing trouble. How many add-ons are running and in what browser.

Also, isn't ComCast one of the ISP's that throttle connections if they show heavy use, i.e. bittorents etc.

10m+ on the downside and .4 up really should give you a nice browsing experience. I feel that something else is either slowing your browser down or maybe your whole computer.

If you would like to compare, try Firefox and Chrome or Safari if you haven't already. A comparison between browsers might answer a few questions.
