    Experiencing slow download speed on Comcast connection. According to speedtest.net downoad speed is 0.85 Mb/s & upload is 5.14 Mb/s.
    Comcast sent a tech and he had no problem with the line (connected his laptop with download around 7 Mb/s, upload 3.8. (I wasn't there, he left a note for my wife to give me)
    Also streaming video is constantly starting and stopping.
    Should be virus & malware free, I already followed the malware removal guide for XP and was helped in a forum to clean my system.
    Any other Ideas? I've tried several TCP optimizers with no luck.
    Please help...can't take it no more.

    What type of connection is it, cable, DSL, ... ?

    If DSL, what other devices do you have connected to the 'phone line?
