yes unplug your modem and turn your pc off, turn your modem back on wait for the lights to go steady then power up your pc.

leave it unplugged for abt 30 secs i guess

No problem....

What i meant was turn off your modem and your pc
unplug your modem for abt 30 secs
reboot your modem and wait for the lights to go steady
restart your pc
do a speed test

if you are getting worse results ring technical support and see what they say :)

tabatha 29-07-2003 22:36
