Hi,
I have been on Comcast for about a year now and all of a sudden my download speeds became very slow. I ran a speedtest and I am getting 10/10 when I should be getting 50/10. When testing my connection with another computer I get the correct speed of 50/10. So the problem should be my computer right?
I have done the following things to trouble shoot.
1. reformatted
2. tested connection through a Usb ethernet device
3. released and renewed IP
4. power cycled and reset modem.
I should also note that my PC is an Asus g53s Laptop with Win 7, and that my connection is wired direct to the modem. No wireless, no router.
Thanks

happened to me before, you might have downloaded something that is slowing your pc down, i would run in safe mode with some of your software disabled and check again
