Hello all.
Boo to Windows 2000, I think. The throughput that I am getting from my dial-up connection seems to have taken a dive in the last few days. I cannot exactly pinpoint when it happened unfortunately. When 2K connects it reports the bandwidth as normal, which is 45.2 or 49 Kbps. My downloads used to be solidly around 5000BPS from all but the worse servers. Now they fluctuate around between 2000 and 4000BPS. Although unlikely, I suppose I should ask if anyone else has noticed slowdown on their connections?
If as I suspect, that it is my computer’s problem then does anyone have any idea what might have caused this happen? I have Windows 2k and Norton Anti Virus up to date, the latest version of Zone Alarm Pro, and Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware come back with no problems found. My OS is Windows 2000 and I have a decent external serial modem.
It is ever so frustrating. 5000BPS was bearable, but even a small drop seems to make a huge difference time wise.
Thanks, Anders.
