all things internet

i don't think that my service is having a problem with bandwidth, but rather, it's my [new] computer.

all the games, browsers, applications, etc. that uses my isp connection have been slow as hell (if hell is slow), and i notice a consistant string of momentary "pauses" in the connection (the status indicatior on taskbar doesn't show any activity either way). from my experiences on my [old] computer, i may be missing a file necessary for optimal performance, or it may be damaged. i may consider doing the first disk format for this new baby.

but before i start doing some file uploading, i'd like to know if there may be anything else that could be the matter.

thanks in advance

Kinda general with some information there... but:

What OS are you running, is it different than before?

Same modem, or different?

And yes, if you are running the OEM install of OS/Software that came with the PC, the first thing you should do is format the sucker and put on a fresh, unviolated OS.

nevermind the problem. it's been the isp's fault all this time.
