Weird Internet

[Zeus2005]

Hey!

I have 3 wireless pc's in network, sharing 2Mbs Broadband. The weird thing is, my web browsing is really really slow(even when not downloading) but downloads like bitTorrent are fast(around 200kbs), my wireless connection strength is full -(54.0 Mbps). Does anyone know why my web browsing is going so slow? I use FireFox and IE but they are both as slow as eachother, got little/no adware etc so cant be them taking up internet.

Please help!

try running one of the laptops wired, if it's faster it's your wireless, it is slower than than wired, but shouldn't normally be much to notice

If you have a download progam autoloading with windows, such as bittorrent or kazaa, the problem may lie with your upload speed. It's usually far less than the download speed, and it may be 'used up' by you seeding files, even if you're not downloading.

If this is the case, try reducing the total upload speed in your bittorrent/kazaa/etc... to around 5-10 KB/s, or make sure that no such prigrams have loaded on any computer on your network and see if that helps.

Perhaps if you get in touch with your ISP, they'll be able to give you some advice.

Running BT will make browsing slow
