Windows 7 internet downloads start and stop
LockedI have a Dell Inspiron 1545, OS Windows 7 Home Premium, 3 Meg Ram, the latest AVG Internet Security. I am using Firefox 3.6.13, all connected to a network at an extended-stay hotel that I have lived at for almost 5 years.
Never had a problem until last week – I was able to download really fast and surf the web fast at 4 MB per second. Now, it is starting and stopping on downloads, starting about 4 MB per second and continually going down to .12 kb and then completely stopping. When I try to load pages it sometimes takes over a minute to load or it times out and I have to refresh and it loads fine.
I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox; I’ve disbled AVG; I’ve done a sfc /scannow and found no integrity problems or virus problems.
Could anyone help me, as this is very frustating. I’m writing a large book and do most of my research on the web and I can’t work at this pace. Checked with the ISP provider and they say nothing has changed in the last month much less the last week.
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!
