Internet Running Incredibly Slow? - Sean B - 04-08-2014 07:55 PM
Wondering if you can help, my Virgin Media internet is running really slow and it's bothering me to no ends. Webpages refuse to load, YouTube videos take forever to start, if not don't at all, and downloads run at incredibly low speeds. What could be the problem?
It is definitely not cookies, add-ons or crowded internet history. I checked a internet check test, said it's running optimally, which is bullturd, and I switched my hub off and on three times now, each lasting an hour, no prevail.

Open up the task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and go to the networking tab. Is the Wireless Network running below 15 Mbps? If so, that's the problem. It it's running at something like 45 Mbps, then your connection to the router is definitely not the issue, and sometimes just complaining to your ISP can help. I have done this before, it HAS HELPED. Anyways, I hope this was of at least a little help.

You should follow these steps...
1. Switch to a different browser.
2. Remove unwanted add-ons, extensions, and plugins.
3. Close unused tabs.
4. Allow (some) cookies and caching.
If you still facing the problem then you should change your internet plan...

Cable internet dose tend to slow down because cable is shared with your neighbours.
