[QUOTE="Intro, post: 134970, member: 7900"] So I'm at my folks house and I'm using their not-so-nice computer. I've been cleaning it up a bit and trying to get things running a little more smoothly. Things are going great so far, but there's this one issue of Internet speed. Although they have a cable modem (not sure what level - I'm thinking it could be the lower tier, like a 100MB cap), they get download speeds slower than many dial-up connects. Just looking at the modem everything seems fine - it's an RCA and all the right lights are lighting and such. I've updated the drivers, reset the modem, yadda yadda.. I haven't tried completely reinstalling the modem - maybe that should be my next move. Anyway, just curious - I'm sure there a a few tech heads/IT/isp folks around here that might be able to steer me clear of pointlessness. Any help is much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
