Well I just built my first ever rig, extremely happy!

I used my old HDD and installed Win 7 64 bit on it, and the interent is downloading files at 2-3KB/sec which is killing me!

I checked my drivers and found out that: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller is anciently out of date, I dont know if it has anything to do with the internet or not?

Any advice on why it could be going so slow.

Sky Brodband
Asus M4A78L-T

I think all the drivers are up to date.

Kris.

I am currently downloading WOW Patch 4KB/sec and Adobe Flash Player at 2-3KB/sec
 
you need to upgrade your CPU it does not support the faster internet connections, also try upgrading your network card to a fiber one....
 
test your connection download a driver package from nvidia, or at a speed test web site, i think www.speedtest.net ..

reboot your router, can you log into it to see what speed you ahve connected at?

is this a new problem?

have to disconnected all other devices from the phone line? including the phones?

have to you tried in the master socket?
 
Hi,

Yes its a new problem, I have just went from an ancient computer to a brand new one that I built. and its horrific its taking 10mins to donwload a 2.9mb file!
When the old one would do it in 2seconds.

I did the speed test and got 4.88mb download and 0.33mb upload.

Any help?
