Hi guys so last Sunday afternoon I was using my computer as usual my main desktop rig (gaming). My internet speed dropped awful. We have that "high-speed twc internet". Normal speed is around 10mb and up is around 2mb I think. Over the past few days it goes from 0.25 to 3mb. The up speed hasn't changed much.
Sunday the only thing I did that was different was check out vpns. After reading about the new six strikes policy. I decided to test one out. It was VPN book and I connected to it gave me a IP in Romania. Everything was fine. Disconnected continued as normal.
Things I did to check my system. First off it is only my desktop that is having issues. All other devices are working perfectly fine and work in the same room. I ran ccleaner fixed bad registries so forth. Scanned the whole system for viruses,malware,etc. Nothing came up. Checked all my drivers. Reset my router a million times. Checked the router config nothing out of the normal.
Talked to time warner for a few hours they did the basic stuff like reset it on my end and there end. Made me ping there server and tracer out. They said to call a office but I was going there tomorrow anyways. I also asked if I was being throttled be use of these six strikes thing. They said no. Also didnt receive emails like the six strike should of sent. I really thought I got flagged for thevpn. Apparently not.
After I got done with twc i messed with the router settings. I changed the channel on the router from 11 to 10. My speed jumped backed up to over 10mb. That lasted half hour to an hour then it dropped again.
Really would appricate any insight to what could be wrong.
I go to school online and mainly use my desktop its just a pain right now thanks guys.
