Anyone know why my internet has slowed badly?

All i have changed is the router secure setting which i know shouldnt have affected anything, but the slowdown started before i did this anyway.

My ping has jumped maybe from 50-60 on a uk server to 70-100
Sloow loads on websites sometimes
Have to restart the internet alot

Any tips on locating this problem?

Possibly something to do with a firewall or bad port-forwarding?

Sorry, I don't know much

You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else.

Perhaps your ISP is oversubscribing more than they should be. You could call them and ask if that sort of behaviour is expected in your area.

I ain't on wireless but mine has been running shitty for a few weeks now, slowww web page loading, downloads at like only 20 kbps despite being connected at 6mb...
Fucking pissing me off, e-mailed 'em and in one they said my line was only 2mbps bullshit! But what do expect from shitty Tiscali...

Hello.
I have been an AOL member for 8 years, and have rarely had a problem with the service you provide.
Recently however, I am becoming increasing disgruntled with the service that has been so reliable and dependable in the past.
We pay for an 8mb Line. With this speed I expect pages to open instantly, and to download files at 600kbps.
Unfortunately, as of late, I haven’t been receiving anywhere close to the speeds I expect, or to the speeds you say you provide.
Downloads from any site download at 10kbps, and browsing the web is sluggish and slow. We have 4 computers connected to the internet connection you provide, though a Netgear Router. All computers have Virus Software Installed, and Firewalls Running. The Router has the most up-to-date firmware. Every computer downloads at the same pathetically slow rate no matter what time of the day it is, and it does not matter which other computers are on or off.
I believe that this firmly suggests that the cause of our pitifully slow internet connection does not reside on our Local Network- It is a problem with the service you provide us.
The service we are currently receiving is nowhere near the standards we have received, and currently expect from AOL, or in fact any ISP
