Why would a computer with Windstream Broadband suddenly become slower than dial-up when nothing is wrong with the computer itself?

Answer 1

If you are having problems with your broadband connection, you might want to check whether:

* Your broadband supplier or the owner of the telephone lines in your area is performing maintenance (you can usually find out on their website or by phoning them). * You, or anyone sharing your connection, are running anything bandwidth-intensive on the connection. * You are violating your broadband suppliers Acceptable Use Policy (for example, some broadband suppliers will lower your speed if you are running Bittorrent connections constantly)

If none of the above are true, then contact your broadband supplier.
