Windows 7 SP1 causes slow internet connection
Hi,
I formatted my 32bit Vista PC this weekend and loaded Windows 7 64bit on here. All fine, except my internet connection speed has now plummeted from around 15Mb to 8Kbps!! It's taken about 5 mins just to load this page
I've Googled and there seems to be a lot of similar issues. I've tried the following:
1. Run 'cmd' prompt as admin, and typed: netsh int tcp set global autotuning=disabled. It said 'ok' but after a reboot, nothing changed.
2. Run 'cmd' prompt as admin, and typed: ipconfig /release then ipconfig /reset. It output a load of stuff, and appeared to have done what it was supposed to do, but again, after reboot there was no change.
3. Go to 'control panel > network and internet > internet options > connections > lan settings' and uncheck 'automatically detect settings'. Reboot, still the same problem. So I reversed this and checked it again. No change still.
I've checked the modem/router etc and that's all fine - other people in the office are connected to it and are getting the correct speeds, both plugged in and via wifi. I'm plugged in.
I'm now at a loss as to what to do. Nothing has worked, and I literally can't even put up with this - it's just totally unusable.
Can anyone recommend anything else before I make the depressing switch back down to Vista?
Thanks all!
