Download speed

I am using Windows Vista home premium on a dell 530s with 2.5 g of memory.
My DSL upload speed is 1435 Kbps and my download speed has been a consistant
150-200 Kbps. A couple of days ago this dropped to around 50 kbps for no
apparent reason.

I have not changed anything nor added any programs. All of my anti-virus
programs, malware and spyware detection programs show no problems in that
regard.

It suddenly takes forever to reach any destination on the internet and this
just seemed to happen for no reason.

Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Jerry

There are dozens of things that affect download speed. However
the download speed "should" be a lot faster that the upload speed
in a consumer account. Have you called your ISP and asked a
few questions?

later....

Thanks. I solved the problem by re-booting the modem. Verizon was of no
help whatsoever. They checked and found nothing wrong.
