I have a major problem with my broadband connection. I recently formatted my machine (previously running windows xp pro), and once again installed windows xp pro after the format.
My internet speeds before were perfect, and i had no complaints. However, after formatting... my broadband speed jumped from 1.4 mbps all the way down to 125 kbps. I know there is nothing wrong with my service because my other machines run fine.
If this helps, all the computers are networked to one linksys router which is then connected to my cable modem. The whole network is also wireless based.
Why is my internet connection so slow now? If anybody can help me out. i would reaaly appreciate it.
