    either way, goto: http://www.speedtest.net run a speed test and post your results back on here so i can check them for you.

    it depends on what the result is, but if you are getting poor internet speeds on all websites, and the results agree, you may have a line fault.

    anyway, post up some results and ill get back to ya
    Hey Rusty, young fellas got adsl and I piggy back off him (wireless) he's having issues too. It's on all websites. Will test if I can get it loaded and post results. Got to run, visit hospital b4 8. Will get back to you, had no issues since Pauly ungraded to win 7. About 12/18 months now.

    too east mate, let me know how u go eitherway. it does sound like u need to talk to ur ISP about having a line fault. have you had any heavy rain, mouse plagues or nearby earthworks? that will most likely be the cause of your problems. they will just have to patch your line over to another patch port.

    Hey Rusty, still got issues and can't even load the speed test, spent some time doing deep scan as Toddsta said, sent him the results last night and followed his advice. Puter has no viruses and rebooted. Fingers were crossed.. Whoohoo was all good for the first site I loaded and that was it. So going to call ISP and see if that's the issue. Thanks for the advice mate, and thanks for the help last night Toddsta

    Well I would tend to slightly disagree there mate. Depending on the condition of the computers hard drive data. I have had plenty of customers come to me with their slow computers and all they needed was a good clean out and a defrag. I give it back to them and they can't believe how much faster it is and then they hand over their $$$$. It actually does do something with your data on the drive. Not just waste your time performing it.
    I actually used to use a third party defrag program when I was heavily into overclocking and benchmarking. Benchmarking is the equivalent of the 1/4 mile drag, just for the people who didn't know....
    Every point, every millisecond counted when benchmarking. I was running -30c cpu temps and watercooled twin graphics cards. Waterblocks on hard drives the list goes on. Now I just pour all that money into my Patrol...But now I have a lot less of it.

    So while it is still useful, in certain cases, most of the time its not needed.

    No worries Pete, my missus thought I was having an affair with someone texting me at that time of night *LMAO*

    Sorry mate haven't had a chance 2 look up that virus, so don't know if it was dangerous or not............ and you laughed at me when I said ur know 2 catch a lot of STD's *LMAO*

    Still could be a line fault as Nic has suggested, I would clear all my browsers cache / temp files and go straight to a speed test page.

    Keep on top of those deep scans Pete!!! and I would reccomend changing any internet passwords you may have that are important

    Finally got to speed test Rusty;

    RESULTS:

    Ping 25ms
    Download speed 3.98Mbps
    Upload speed .58Mbps

    Still not super quick, but at least its running 1/2 normal ATM and can access sites now.

    Appolagies to Erin Todd, LMAO sounds like early in the piece when i joined the forum, my miss's was hell bent that i was having an affair too lol.
