    Have you tried calling your ISP to see if there's something wrong on their end?

    what is it, cable or dsl? from your information you gave, i don't blame jamsan asking you a question like that. it could be a ton of different shit.

    Okay...someone needs to make this guy change his screen name. I'm the OG, that being said, it definitely sounds like a provider or line quality issue. If you have cable, someone may be stealing your cable and degrading your signal. If you have DSL, they may have installed new lines that are interfering with your signal. If you have cable, call your provider and ask them to perform a signal attenuation test. If you have DSL, just ask them for a line quality test.

    he is the joker. you're just a joker. There is a distinct difference in the articles which precede the noun.

    ps. we need a sticky to make sure people give details and shit. this is getting annoying...i dont want to help out all these new guys if it means asking the same damn questions again and again
