Chances are, it is not the internet connection, it is your computer. You can do a Bandwidth test to confirm this. WWW.BANDWIDTHPLACE.COM is one of many that offer a free test.

remember, your PC can only take in information as fast as it can handle it. Processor speed, RAM, possible malware infection can all contribute to slower internet speeds.

Ok i accidentally un-plugged the the plug for the speaker that goes into the CPU i found out and plugged it bak in ever since i did that funny sounds have came out of my speakers ne suggestions?

It may be plugged into the wrong speaker port, try another. If they are standard 2.5mm or 3.5mm jacks, make sure they aren't bent and that the computer's volume is set right, that the soundcard is seated correctly in the computer, and try rebooting. If none of these work, or you are using TOSLINK, then you may want to contact someone for professional troubleshooting as this may be a hardware problem, or taking advice over the internet and messing with it could cause irreperable damage to your system.

It is a method of transmitting network or internet connections to different rooms in a house. For example: A started kit will provide two plugs. One is connected to your internet connection (modem or router) plugged into a power outlet, and the other is plugged into a power outlet in another room of the house and connected to a computer or other internet capable device. This then allows for the internet connection to be transmitted through the power circuit in stead of via network cables.
