Slow Upload Speeds

I was curious if anyone has noticed a significant loss in upload speeds
after the last batch of December updates for XP. The last few days it's
dropped to Dixie Cups n String speeds up. Other computer does the same
thing after testing direct. Comcast guy can't figure it out either.
Swapped modems and got a bit better, but still not where it was. I run a
tight ship with no malware/viruses and minimal procesess running.

Thanks,
Jeff

Pa Bear, Thank you for the info. I wrote on the 15th about the Black Screen.
I got ahold of Microsoft and all is good now. They were very helpful. You
