Internet connection problems, need some help.?

Question

Alright, so, we have a DSL router and a router from sprint that we use to connect to the internet. Both of them work alright, but our internet is just extremely slow right now. And no, I will not pay money to call sprint for their customer service, because that's just ridiculous. I play an online game, and then I log onto it, I disconnect instantly. My computer will not let me sign in to MSN, i tried to troubleshoot and it said there's a problem with Host Keys and something else. My internet is connected, but mind you I am paying for HIGH SPEED INTERNET and this is NOT high speed AT ALL. Sprint has been giving me crappy service with everything lately, whether it's my phone or my internet. I was wondering if anyone had an suggestions as to what I should do? Replace my wireless router maybe? I tried unplugging both of the boxes for a while to let them cool down, but it doesn't work. Also, when I open a web browser, everything loads extremely slow. It took me about 20 minutes just to get onto this page and have it loaded. I feel like I'm using dial-up, >.>

Answer 1

internet connection varies depending on where you live and they usually say up to 40 mb for e.g. so basiclly your connection can be beetween 0.1 mbps and 40 mbps. you should call them up and try to open your NAT, it speeds it up. and also sometimes the problem is sometimes about the computer, your internet might be fast but your computer might be slow at processing the data and putting into HTML. that seems the problem. look at your RAM and cpu. if ram is less then 512mb then you need to upgrade it and look if your CPU is at least 1.4 mhz, its hard to upgrade that though

Answer 2

DSL is just not that fast. Perhaps you should change to cable modem. That would speed things up considerably. I use Comcast Broadband and the modem runs the internet and phone service. When Comcast works it is fine. Lately it has been flaky with the service simply stopping and the starting again. Comcast says they are working on it. I did have a wireless router connected and it had no effect on the speed. So, good luck and I hope you find a solution.

When you turn among the 2 instruments, you must vigour-off the DSL modem for a minute or 2 after which flip it on, stay up for the lighting at the modem to sync up, then boot the computer. This will reset the modem and make it admire the distinctive MAC deal with that the computer has and supply you a brand new IP deal with. You must bear in mind getting a router in order that you do not must cross by way of the vigour-off, wait, vigour-on modem, vigour on laptop method. When you desire to return to utilizing the computing device laptop, you are going to once more must vigour off the whole thing for approximately a minute, flip at the modem and permit the lighting sync up, then vigour at the computing device.
