Well this problem has been happening for a while now.
When I check my speed (with speakeasy, LA) I normally get about 1.3mb (Yahoo DSL).
I am under a router.
The router is a wireless linksys.
Under the router there are 4 computers, 3 of which are connected via Wireless, mine is connected with a CAT5.
One of the three (wireless) computers is normally downloading at the constant rate of ~45kb/s.
This problem has been happening on and off since October of 2006.
The problem is that when I use the internet with anything, including simple browsing, the speed plummets down to around 20kb/s or lower. The rate at which it goes down varies depending on what I do (this is an assumption, but for example, if I were to play an online game then it would slow down faster than browsing the net). Afterwards, if I leave my internet alone for like ~20 minutes then the speed reverts back to normal. I don't think the problem is the downloading as I have tried to pause it and the internet still slowed down. This change in internet speed does not effect the download speed. The download is http not torrent.
Well I think that's just about all the info that I can think of... I hope you guys can help me out with this problem.
***umm it seems I have put this in the wrong section... moving this thread would be appreciated, thank you in advance.
