Post: Slow Laptop/Internet
08-06-2009, 11:56 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey all,

I am having trouble with the speed of the internet. It will take extremely long to open any website. Just now I was probably waiting 5mins for this page to load so I could type about the problems. Half of the page had opened causing me to wait a long time for the rest of the page to open.

Also if I open a youtube video regardless of how long it is, it will take FOREVER to buffer. It will let me watch atleast 2secs of a clip and then will stop the video and buffer again. This is really annoying and im not sure what the problem is.

Finally, any games on the internet I play is really slow and laggy.

I have BT broadband so I am wondering if it is my laptop? It is a DELL.

This slow internet is causing me to open 1 webage at a time, whether it be text based, video or game. This is really fustrating and would like it if someone could help me out here!!!

Thanks guys!

and For the Computer Just Go to the Start Menu and Click "Turn off computer" then a box will pop up that says "log off" "turn off computer or "Restart" Click Restart. and for the Router. Goto your Router. and pull out the plug in the wall so no Electricity can go to the router for 10 Sec then Plug it back in and it will take 30sec - 2min to re gain Internet Access

Oh lol,

I thought the resetting you were reffering to was different lol.. I know how to do that.. So should I just turn off my computer and switch the internet off and pull the cord out? What happens if that doesnt work?

To increase your laptop connectivity speed first of all you can delete your current network group and then create you new network and then you will check your laptop then you will de fragment your operating system drive and uninstall your browser and then reinstall your web browser and then check your laptop connectivity.
