what speed is your internet? Download / Upload...

if you are wired with a 100Mbps Ethernet cable, replacing the card wont do much good without upgrading the cable and the router too...

what are the pc specs?

and as well as running a virus scan, do you ever scan for spyware?

its not the PC. check my sig.

i think the cable might help, although i don't know how good it is. there is only two computers and an Xbox 360 connected to the router at the moment. speedtest.net shows about a 1mbps download, 350 kbps upload, but i was downloading CSS last night in Steam at only 120kbps. perhaps it is the program.

oh well, thanks for all the advice. i will see about a new router and cable.

How much are you paying for that service and what ISP? 1mbps download speed is very slow.

Ask your ISP what your line speed should be then go to www.speedtest.net and see what it really is.

if your line speed is less, complain to your ISP.

thats about it.

that sounds about right, i have a 1Mb line here at uni, and i get about 100KB/s download speed. at home i have an 8Mb line and get about 300 - 800KB/s download speed.
