Okay, so this problem is pretty recent to me and I have no idea what to do.

I followed instructions on that website^ and NO RESULTS.

I read somewhere that the problem may be due to the driver updates that Windows does... but I don't understand how to do driver-related things. I don't know what my driver is... and I can't seem to figure that out. Can someone PLEASE help me?! This internet speed is slowly killing me!

Ok, load up Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) and look in the Network section and see what make/model of network card you have (Usually Intel, Realtek, Broadcom etc), then visit their website and d/l driver that matches your card.

Unless it's an integrated adapter; then you want to play safe and get the driver from the PC manufacturer's web site. I learned this the hard way--by reading Intel's advice/warning AFTER I had a problem with a driver direct from their web site.
