Having really bad random internet connection moments...?

If you have a windows machine and it started a month , maybe a little more ago it's probably windows automatic update hogging cpu cycles and nothing to do with your internet connection. If you open task manager and cpu usage is at or near 100% then look for a svchost.exe that is also near that level. They haven't come up with a patch yet. You can turn automatic updates off but don't kill the whole svchost.exe as it hosts about 19 processes. get sysinternal's Process Explorer , figure out how it works and then use it to kill automatic updates as often as necessary until microsoft fixes the problem.
