Built a new comp in January. Originally I had a DSL internet connection, but I changed back to cable (Cox.net). I have Premiere service with 6Mb download speed and 512 kb up speed.
I recall checking the speeds at dslreports to verify... and found the download to be consistently around 5.5 Mbs.
A few weeks ago I noticed (in an online game) that my speeds seemed a little slower than usual. So I checked them about a week ago. Yes... download speed is now around 2.1 Mb.
Tried several things at home... then had cable company check. Their end is good. I replaced modem to check.... still the same.
OK... shorter story... I hooked in my old computer and it gets the full download speeds via my current modem.
New comp.... I tried via ethernet card, onboard ethernet, and usb.... still slow. Comapred all settings.... seem to be correct. Ran virus and spam checks... all good. Removed whatever programs I thought I had installed after noticing this issue. Still slow.
Checked port usage via 'Active Ports' and find nothing unusual.
So.... thoughts.... reformat? Or can this be an issue with my motherboard?
AMD64 3200
MSI Diamond Plus mobo
Dual 6800GS vid cards in SLI
WD hard drives .. SATA and Raid'ed
2 GB Corsair DDR400
HELP PLEASE!
