Download speeds suddenly very slow!
My download speeds were good until earlier this evening, when they suddenly dropped to a crawl. I'd made no settings changes in between, or any driver/system updates.
There is another computer in the house (running Windows 8) which is having no connectivity or speed issues. Both computers are wired directly to the router.
Originally I was downloading at about 4mb (still very slow..) and now it's about 500kbps, but it wavers and generally drops to 100-250kbps.
So far I have tried: Disabling heuristics, ipconfig refresh & renew, turning off & on 'automatically detect IP settings', turning off Windows auto-tuning level. Nothing has made a difference.
Router, modem and computer have all been power-cycled several times.
I tried connecting directly to the modem and then my computer failed to connect to the internet at all.
A speed test indicates an excellent connection, at 35mbps down and 5.4kmbs up.
I depend on downloads and uploads to do my job so this is driving me pretty crazy. Any help hugely appreciated!
