DDOS attacks?

My internet has been going slow and I wondered if it would be due to DDOS attacks? I'm not expert in this field on windows. I have windows 7. I know how to check CMD with netstat -n.

Without sending a screenshot. I can say there are around 100 (a total guess) displayed here.

IS this normal? What do I do next?
Thanks
 
I doubt you are being DDOS'd.
You have left out a lot of info: ISP, connection type, location, how many other people on your router etc.

ISP is PlusNet (one of the best in UK. I moved from TalkTalk), Connection Type is broadband (10 mbps), 1 other person can use the modem. The only reason I wondered about DDOS is because I access video site and they say there is DDOS on there. Although I too doubt i'd be DDOSed. But I dont know how easy or hard it is so thought id check.
 
I might be wrong, but I'll give a crack at your question, well, the latter part anyway.

When you type netstat-n into the command prompt, if I remember right, the n stands for numbers. The first field is protocol. When I run it, all of mine are TCP. I will use an example from mine.

The second number, local address, is the addresses on the network. I have two, 127.0.0.1, which all computers will have, and the one assigned to me from my wireless access point.

The third number, foreign address, is what that device is connecting to. One of them on mine is 74.125.135.120. If I type that into google, and click on the first link, it will show me information on that particular IP. It was an IP that Google uses.

The fourth part, that isn't my forte, but I'm guessing that when it says established, it is communicating with that server. When it says time-wait, it is connected to it, but no data is being transfered.

As for the numbers after the colon of the IP addresses, I have no clue. It might be something to do with IPv6, but I doubt it.
