are there any splitters in the line before it goes into the modem? possible your modem has gone bad.

yea actually there is on splitter before the modem, i just took it off to see if it works better, but its probably worse now :( could it be spyware slowing it down, i have been getting a lot of the random spyware popups lately

heh..that's a bummer. What all do you have running? If you believe you have spyware and whatnot get the new version of spybot search and destroy at:

www.download.com and type in spybot S&D
