Okay i dont know whats up with this but when I am surfing the net it seems like my connection is HORRIBLE, with almost ANY site i visit it is noticably slower than it used to be. Weird thing is I am getting the SAME download speeds as normal when i download files and my ping in online multiplayer games is great. What gives?? I reinstalled my browser and i cleaned my cookies, any unwanted plugins and extensions. Im using Firefox too, had it for a long time...i have no clue whats up i've tried it all and it just seems that it wont get any faster as far as surfing the net. I am currently on a broadband connection. I think i've covered everything that I know (included the obvious things that i didnt list :p)

Yup wrong area. But try running something like CC Cleaner and see if that helps

Only the truly stupid believe they know everything.

I can only suggest that you check your MTU etc., as for the PING well that may be due to the ISP and/or location that you are at...

to check your settings and to adjust them accordingly, go to this website, there under BROADBAND >>> BROADBAND TOOLS >>> SG TCP/IP ANALYZER (SG TCP/IP OPTIMIZER)...

Try tracert - it will tell you how many hops you're going through to get to your ISP and the time it takes to get though each hop.
