Windows 7: Internet speed loss, can't find solution

I'm having some serious issues with my internet speed. I am on Virgin Media 60mb with the ISP provided router. We have 4 computer connected via wires and several wireless devices. In the last month my computer has been suffering some serious internet issues.

My regular connection on speedtest.net would give 55-60mb/s, in the last month after downloading or streaming video online my internet connection would become unusable and sitting around 0.08mb/s.

All the other computers and devices on the router remain fine.



I have tried updating drivers, re-installing network devices, resetting network settings and 2 different NICs. I've also reset the router repeatedly and also tried disabling the firewall.

As a last ditch effort I re-formatted my computer and re-installed Win 7. The connection worked fine for a while until I was re-downloading some software and the connection went again.

Like I previously mentioned I have tried 2 different NICs, 1 wired and 1 wireless. The issues remains on both. I've run out of ideas.

Welcome to the Seven Forums.

Sorry that no one had any suggestions on your post back in December. I cannot think of anything for you to try - but I have asked others to stop by your thread and see what comes to their minds.

have you spoke to virgin? could be a faulty hub tell them its not right and get them to replace the hub and get them to monitor your connection i know my dads virgin had trouble last year with speed and quality and after a inspection from engineer it was a faulty connection on the house entry.

have you tried a ping to your isp gateway ip? by going into your command prompt and typing ping ip address
so example: ping 192.168.1.1

I have, it gives a ping response time of <1ms. Pinging Google gives a ping response time in the region of 35-45ms, occasionally popping up to 50ms.

here is mine

I altered the ping to google.com instead of Google and it gave a different result which I didn't expect. I have attached a picture to demonstrate the issue.

you say its just one pc giving you slow speed have you tried un installing the driver for the Ethernet and rebooting and let windows install fresh driver

This is on an entirely new Win 7 install. My previous drive was formatted and Win 7 was installed onto a brand new SSD today.

mmmm try this test at Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
