Hi everyone. I wonder if any of you have any insight on the problem I'm having. Recently I switched internet providers (went from DSL to Cable) and my download speeds went from 5.0 Mbps to 25 Mbps and upload went from about 0.5 Mbps to 5.5 Mbps. Everything works perfectly on all wireless devices except for my PC, which is hardwired to the modem. This only started immediately after going to the new cable modem.
The problem I'm having is with browsing the internet. Some webpages just refuse to load or take an extremely long time to load while other webpages load great with no issues. Sometimes Gmail will not load; the loading bar gets to about 90% full then stops. When it does load, I cannot upload a single picture to send in an email; the blue loading bar just sits there. Now, I THINK (but am not certain) that the problem is with https sites. For example, fast.com will not work in showing my download speed (bounces somewhere around 250 Kbps or something silly) but speedtest.net works just fine. And it felt like it took a year just to log into this site and post this. Any site that requires logging in has been a problem.
Like I said before, my tablets work flawlessly; it's only on my desktop which is not wireless. And this only started after going from DSL to cable.
Any ideas? This is not my area of expertise by any means so any thoughts are welcome.
Thanks everyone!
