slow net

Oct 20, 2007 10:53AM PDT

Ok, im pretty good with computers but I cant figure out what is wrong with my internet. All of a sudden today my internet has been running real slow. I lag around in games and it takes like 20 secs to load internet pages fully. I restarted my 2 wire modem a ton of times, changed from ethernet to wireless on my computer,ran multiple virus scans, and restored my comp to an earlier time. I ran a speed test at 2wire.com and it said i was running at 2megs, but i am def not. Even pages like google or my home page that are in cache take long to load. Modem says im at 3008 kbps, but im def not running that fast. When I open multiple internet pages it lags more. I ran ventrilo to watch my ping as i opened up webpages. When i opened my net pages my ping went from a normal 60 to 1400-21000. Then when the pages stopped loading, the ping went down to 60 again. Only thing i can figure is something wrong with my comp, or isp is not working well. It is dsl yahoo with 2 wire modem. Never had a problem since now.
