Suddenly, my broadband is SLOWER THAN DIALUP! Can anyone help? Please!

I've had broadband with the same cable company for over a year now.
Loved it until recently. Could listen to Internet radio and surf the
Web at the same time, no problem. I've got Vista Home Premium, an HP
a6720f computer, a Motorola SB5120 cable modem, no router.

Recently, my ISP installed a new modem, same model, because my old
one was dropping me every ten minutes. The new modem seems to
work--all the lights are on. But nobody's home! Tech support checked
everything. The Network is fine, the ISP is okay, the modem is okay.
They think it's me.

I can't download my email in Windows Mail or Live Mail. They will
retrieve a few messages then time out. My mail server has Web-based
mail, so I use that just to delete all the messages so my server won't
fill up. I found out what the problem was with the time-outs: If a
message has an attachment (like a jpeg) and I try to download it from
the Web mail (I think it's Squirrel Mail), the download gets slower
and slower and slower. I've seen numbers as small as 85 Bps. Not 85
kilobytes per second, but 85 bytes! No wonder the server times out,
it's dropping me!

Most Web pages load slow as molasses now. If there's a Flash
animation, forget it. Forget Youtube. Forget Itunes. What's the point
of having a computer?

Small files seem to download okay (if they are really small, but big
files don't.

Look at this:

I disabled auto-tuning with netsh. I thought that was supposed to fix
the RWIN value at 65535, but it's still 17520, the lowest value Vista
uses. Could that be the trouble? What do I do about it?

Why is my RWIN still 17520? I have been tearing out my hair about this
for days, and I was bald enough to begin with.

Does anyone have any ideas. Even if all you can suggest is another
newsgroup, I'll take it. I need my YouTube!

Are you using an antivirus program? If you are is it up to date?

Do you have another PC to hook up to your modem? Maybe a laptop? There
could be hardware problems but I would first start with viruses.

Yeah, it is Windows after all. Chances are the OP has become a member of
a net bot and has joined the hundreds of thousands of other Windows
boxes that are compromised and are used to bring you spam laden with
viruses. I'm glad I use Linux.

I am SUCH a doo-doo head! After hours on the phone with tech support
telling me the cable network was fine, the modem was fine, I still
refused to find fault with my beautiful computer.

Yes, Ezeloe (and Alias), I scanned my computer for viruses and found
nothing.

And Death, try Ubuntu. The games are cute. And it can use all 4 of my
processors.

I used to be a tech support person (for 6 months). Uninstalling and
reinstalling the driver for the network card should have been the
first thing I did. THAT SOLVED EVERYTHING!

Thanks for your suggestions. If you were here in the room, I'd hug and
kiss you. Of course, if this room didn't scare you away, the sight of
an unattractive 55 year old man puckering up in your direction
probably would.

Thanks to all,
Roy

P.S. Remember: Make sure you have a driver to reinstall before you
uninstall the old one. I've made that boo-boo and was my face red!

You are WRONG again as usual. The issue was the NIC driver. You just wish
it was a virus. Remember that Linux distros are just toy Operating Systems
for geeks to play with.

Ubuntu has been free for years yet most reject Ubuntu as garbage. I am glad
you use Linux because you don't understand the workings of Windows. Way
over your head. You would just sit there like that retard Kevpan815 and
scratch your head.

Oops.

Check the modem's signal stats

Open a browser and type http://192.168.100.1 then click on the Signal tab.

Check these 3 stats:
Downstream Power Level: should be between -10 and +10 dBmV
Downstream Signal To Noise Ratio: should be higher than 33dB
Upstream Power Level: should be between +30 and +55dBmV

If any of those are off contact your isp.

BTW, what isp are you using?

You were the one who first said it could be a virus, not me asshole. Oops.

You don't understand as usual. I said it could be a virus, and you blew it
out of proportion as usual. If you hate Windows so much, go to the Ubuntu
forums and help out those sorry sacks who are trying to get their INFERIOR
OS running.

and I said he could have been taken into a net bot corral. He still
could be but note I wrote, and I quote, "Chances are", nothing definite,
asshole.

No, like you, I offered a real possibility.

I don't hate anything but hatred and use Windows almost every day.

I help people on the Ubuntu forums all the time. You, OTOH, never help
*anyone* *anywhere*. All you do is lie and insult people.

You just lied again. I posted a response earlier to a post titled "WEIRD
FOLDER". You keep lying and I will keep after you correcting your lies.
Especially the lies you post about that INFERIOR Ubuntu that most reject as
complete garbage.

Just FYI.
