Internet connection speed problem on a new computer.
Hello everyone.
I registered to the forum cause i am encountering a problem with my old internet's connection speed on a new computer.
I have a 2mbs internet connection which has been enough for me for the past few years. Problem is that since i bought a new desktop my connection is extremely slow, youtube videos lag almost instantaneously even on 360p (which didn't happen with the same connection on my old desktop). Moreover, downloading from firefox or programs like origin speed seems not to go above 15 or 20 kbps while on my old desktop it reached its limit around 210kbps. As you understand this is extremely annoying, i am suspecting that the problem is hardware related. I am using a modem (the one my isp provided) and an ethernet cable to my desktop. Additionally i am using windows firewall and Microsoft security essentials.
I would appreciate your advices and knowledge in order to understand whats causing my internet being so slow...
