and i cant even play ESO right now. all the NPCs are flying all over my screen and it took 5 minutes just to sort my bag. =_=

edit: it took me 1 minute to fav a video.

If your speed took that much of a tumble you must've hit your internet bandwidth cap which they throttle your speed to almost dial speed until usually the next month.

Other possible reasons for it could be a load of spyware and junk is clogging up your computer. (This is very much a possiblity if you are using a USB modem rather than a Ethernet Modem) As the USB modems rely on your computers resources and if your computer is heaily bogged down your connection will go down with it.

If you're running a shared connection someone may be downloading thus bogging down your connection too

Or your modem is dying..

That's why happened to us...

>< well cause my neighbors shares their Comcast internet with us by splitting the cost. the way we get our internet is to string a long long cord from their house to ours and then into our modem... >< and our houses are farther apart since i live kinda in the mountains... i might want to check if the cord is being chewed on by a deer or something lulz.
and my neighbors house have 2 ppl... so thats 2 ppl plus the new people next door so thats 4 people... plus everyone in my house daily... which then adds up to...
9 people using internet... =___=;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
but only my brother, my mom's boyfriend's daughter, my mom, and her boyfriend+me really use it much... :S
so really only 5 people are using it... >< but still idk why but about a week ago it was fine...

and our modem is somewhat new...
>< and i just finished a scan thats been running for a few hours and barely anything came up that would bog down my comp or the internet ><;

wow so many people sharing that...

Is it all connected through a router?

Try restarting them or something?

Recently our router had gone stupid, and for some reason, when Blah's computer was plugged in, my Internet stuffed up, when I pulled her computer out, my internet was fine...

Her computer wasn't even on.. I don't think... but it was fine again after she turned on her computer and did a reset =/

You shouldnt be getting DCed though even if there are alot of people using your connection worst thing that happens is your connection speed plummets through the floor. Are you running on a wireless connection?

yeah we have wireless ><; since im upstairs my mom doesn't want to run a cable all the way into my room T.T (because it apparently looks bad)
and yeah... seems like the bad internet just comes and goes.. X_X like one minute i have no lag and the next minute i can barely use a pot...
