Internet Speed problem

[IRDanielC]

I have been using my current ISP for 2 years right now. I use Roadrunner which I think is either broadband or cable internet. For some time it was going very fast, but my computer has gone through a major slow down on the internet. I don't know what settings I have changed or what I have done. Every computer In my house is going faster than mine. I have tried TCP Optimizer and the internet is still the same speed. I have put up with my internet problem for a while but it has become unbarably slow, and I realy want to fix this proble.

If you have any knowledge on this issue plz dont hesitate to post. BTW I am not to tech saavy and may not know all the terms used so bare with me.

What speeds do you get?

Have you tried restoring the XP automatic detection for TCP settings since setting them manually have result in this problem?

When I take the test I am getting weird numbers ranging from 4726KBps 218KBps to 8 or 9000KBps. I know none of these numbers are the speed I am going at, because it feels like I am using dial-up. BTW, what speed am I supposed to be getting? Also when the speakeasy speed test is being done it never seems to be a clean go from 0- 100 percent complete, the red dot will stop, start, speed up, or slow down. Is this normal?
