To make sure it is your Internet connection and not some other component try this speed test -

Then click on the yellow pyramid.

Internet connection is slow here. Fastest speed here is half the speed of the slowest connection available in my home country. And at the moment it is slower than usual

clear cookies and cache

perform available key updated for ie

if router/modem is wifi enabled, disable wifi (to isolate problem)

perform multiple ping tests (start>run>cmd> "ping www.ato.gov.au"

check for packet drops if any.

try a different computer for testing purposes

perform a speed test at www.bigpond.com >help> downloads> download "online storage application" look out for speed below 35KBps.

I had a similar experience last week. I'm not a computer person, but wanted to exhaust all my options before calling Qtel. I unplugged EVERYTHING connected to the internet (computers, printers, routers, modems.) After letting them rest for about 15 minutes I plugged everything back in and it has worked fine since.

Hope you get everything up and running again quickly.
