Internet browsing is slow without VPN and often get 404 error
I am subscribed to 12mbps cable internet, but on my laptop the connection is dead slow when browsing. I am connected to the Wifi of the router my service provider gave me. The connection speed is okay on my Tablet or Phone from the Wifi, the problem occurs on the laptop only. Most of the pages I want to visit load very very slowly, and very often I get 404 error first, then, after 15-20 seconds the page starts to load. Oddly, when I use VPN connection of a third party provider, the connection becomes lightning fat compared to the speed without VPN.
As the problem only occurs on both of my laptops installed with Windows 7, I started thinking about whether it can be a problem with my operating system components. On both laptops, I am running the fresh, unupdated Windows 7 Ultimate. From the beginning I disabled svchost, so there are no annoying updates. Is it possible that this way I skipped an update that has an effect on network connection, and that's why I have this problem?
I run Eset Nod Virusscanner on both of my laptops, they didn't report any infections or suspicious activity so far going on my machine.
Any ideas to solve the issue?
