Hey all,
I'm on Roadrunner. Just got bumped from 3Mb/256 to 5Mb/512. All was going good until last week. Since then I download like a mad man (I've hit 600 k/sec) but my upload is crap. I'm on testmy.net and I usually get an upload rate of 1-10 k/sec, that is if I get a score at all since sometimes it won't load jack. Around the time I noticed the slowdown, autoupdate had put a bunch of MS patches on my system (like 13 I think). Now I know its the fashionable thing to blame MS for this but I honestly can't think of any other changes to my system in the past few weeks. Has anyone else had similar problems with the last batch of updates or does anyone have any good ideas? Incase you're wondering I'll list the obvious off to save people the time of posting it:
MS Antispy shows nothing, same with AdAware and Hijack this.
Norton is all clear
I've tried the test in both IE and Firefox.
Thanks!
