I already shut off and restarted my wireless router, restarted the laptop, freed up disk space, and it's still excessively slow. Any help is appreciated.

Mine did that the other day but it was upload speed that was nil.



It just fixed itself after I watched some more porn.

Your download speed is faster than mine . Upload's about the same.

What are you trying to access that is seeming really slow?  Your uplink is going to be your killer.  



I know I am going to get smoked when the fiber guys pop into this thread.

It looks like you need Ad Block.

Now it's hit or miss. At times it'll open a link fairly quick, and at times it'll take way longer than normal.

Try configuring your browser to use  8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 as your DNS

Run a speedtest.  I bet your connection is fine.

Crap on your computer could be slowing you down.  That is why everyone is saying porn.  And they're right.

Check Task Manager and see if you have any processes that are consuming large amounts of RAM or CPU resources.  You may have a bug that is chewing up your resources.

Might help if DNS queries are running slow. Many ISPs auto configure you to use theirs which are generally slow and shitty.

Winter time.

Cold weather slows the electrons down to a crawl.

If Algore is right, the internet will be screaming in a couple more years.

DNS is screwing up for me - both at the office and at home.



It sometimes takes 3 or 4 tries to get a page to load without a 'Server not found' error.

I just remoted into a pc at a friend's house with Google fiber. I have a 3 ms ping but only about 50 Mb down and up for some reason.
