Hi, over the past two weeks my internet speed(Comcast Service) has seemed to be slowing down and i don't know why. I tested the speed at http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
and this is wat i came up with.

Download speed: 207kbps
Upload speed: 1581kbps

Please help.

Sometimes changing your IP speeds things up a little, but in my experience its down to the ISP, not the pc.

I would call your ISP and tell them whats going on... probably might even get a month of free service out of it, if you play your cards right.
