Question Speeds are LOW
Here is my results from speedtest
FYI: I have DSL


My connection is so slow, videos from you tube take forever to load and are constantly buffering, when before they would load very quickly and without hesitation.
RIDICULOUS!! What is going on here? I sure could use some help on this one.

Register at DSLReports and run their Line Quality Tests. It's best to run this test with a direct wired connection to eliminate any wireless issues from the results. It's useful many times to run this test several times, and we'd like to see each of the results. Post the results link from the top of the test display page for each test run here.

The link to post is near the top of the page and looks like:

If you wish to post this result to a forum, please copy/paste this URL
http://www.dslreports.com/linequality/nil/2357195 <- sample only, yours will obviously be different!
and your IP will be disguised.

Copy/paste that link here.

Note: You will have to enable PING (ICMP) request response either in your router (if you have one), or in your computer's firewall for direct modem connections. This is very important to get the most important part of the test to run.


DSLReports

Here's also the Line Quality Tests FAQ to help you understand the results. This will answer some questions about the line quality display.

I registered and began running the test you recommended. 20 minutes and still no results. Will post when they finally finish.

Check the page, a little pop-up shows up and says there's a "system" message. Click on that and you'll see the test is done.
