I'm not really sure which of those is the real problem but lately something is really wrong wtih my internet. I have RoadRunnner cable, using a Motorola SB41000 cable modem and I have a Linksys RT31P2 router.
The problem is that my internet is extremely slow. I don't know why but everytime I try to play games or even browse the internet it goes very slow. The strange thing is that I can download torrents at 300k/s. I've tested my bandwidth at c-net's modem test thing and I usually get 400Kbps.
This has happened several times except this time the bandwidth problems are also effecting the other computer on my network. The previous two times I would run c-net's speed test on that computer and it would have regular speeds but now it's getting similar results.
The first time it happened I remedied it by putting a spare lan card into an empty PCI slot and used that instead of the onboard lan that came with my Asus K8N motherboard. I thought it might be the onboard lan because it happened several days after I installed the motherboard.
I fixed a second time by uninstalling the network cards and reinstalling drivers and eventually it worked again. Now this time I've tried all of that and I still have gotten no results. I've reset my modem and router several times. I tried plugging my computer directly into the modem and was getting the same results. I'm not sure if it's the modem too because the second time it broke and I fixed it, if I plugged directly into the modem I'd still get the slow speeds.
I'm all out of ideas, so hopefully someone knows what I could try.
