Internet laptop is very slow?
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that when I go on some sites, the speed lagged a little bit. In the last couple of days it has gotten extremely slow on random occasions.
I ran a speed test and my download speed is often 0.50 mbp and a couple of other computers on my network are within normal range (15-20 mbps). My iPhone and iPad are on the same network and the speeds are pretty good too. Sometimes I can't even run a speed test because it times out. At the time I'm posting this, my download speed is 13.93 mbps, but it'll drop within a few minutes.
My ISP suggested that my wireless network card may be faulty. But Toshiba says it not because if it was, I would be kicked off the internet altogether, which isn't the case. Although my laptop is still under hardware warranty, they won't fix it. I'd have to pay $100 for phone support which is a ripoff.
I performed full scans on Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, and Trend Micro but none found anything.
I went to System Configuration, disabled a couple of startup programs, but there hasn't been any improvement.
I have full bars on the Wi-Fi indicator on my taskbar and the router is about 15 feet away from me. In fact I had an extra router that I switched to, but that didn't fix the problem.
I live across the street from a Starbucks and got on their Wi-Fi but it was very slow too.
I have no plugins on my browser (Chrome).
From what i've read, computers slow down as they get older, the internet to. Also on my computer i don't have a protection program like macafee because it slows down my computer way to much. What you could try dokng is deleting some programs and searching for ones you don't recongnize, sometimes the protection programs won't pick up things that don't harm your computer but slow them down. You may want to delete more usless toolbars, i'm not sure if thatll help but it makes sense.
- Why do I do this? I'm very very very tired yet I don't want to sleep? I want to sleep because I'm practically blinking and bobbing my head side to side like a drunken man but I just don't want to sleep. I watch tv or go on Facebook or play on my iPhone. And I'm starting to get dark circles. And as a guy I don't wear. Concealer or whatever
- My iphone screen is very dark, but if I look very close, I see the apps slightly? My iphone screen is very dark but I still see the buttons slightly, but I have to look very closely in order to. It is definitely not the brightness, because the brightness is set to 100% and its way too dark anyway. I tried restoring my phone and turning it on and off, but nothing is working. Please help. What do I do? I literally threw it out of anger and its fixed.
- My iphone 4s is charging very very slowly? I let my phone charge for about three hourse and it only charged from 3% to 5% and its really really slow; i'm not sure if its the battery or not. Also; i had finally charged it to 10% and i took it off the plug for a second the. It went back to 1%.
- Laptop gets slow internet connection, yet all my other devices get it at full speed? This never used to be an issue up until a few weeks ago, we had a 60MB connection that was buffed up to 100, my laptop used to download at around 5.5 - 6MB per second, whereas now its between 2 and 2.5, yet my iphone and all other computers in the house still get the full speed. I have checked the drivers which are all up to date, I can't discover the problem, what could be causing this? And how can I go about solving it?
