It also depends on the connectivity of the People using in ur area. As the internet gets jammed when more people are logged in on the same network. Also try clearing the cache and deleting temp files. RUN-TEMP-SELECT all - DELETE RUN-%TEMP%-Select All- DELETE RUN-PREFETCH-SelectALL- DELETE and RUN-INETCPL.CPL-DELETE BROWSING HISTORY-CLEAR CACHE-RESET BROWSER. This will make the Disk drive more spacious so that intenet and use all the space and if there are any conflicting files they get deleted and helps the connect to run faster. Hope it helps!!!!

Answer 4

Hello!

I'm on TekSavvy too. I'm in Toronto, Ontario. The speeds are not what they advertised. Since I live alone, I have the 2 Mbps plan which they had 4 years ago and on Speedtest.net the results showed I had DL: 0.55 Mbps / UL: 0.43 Mbps, which is not even close to what I wanted.



Your computer specs has nothing to do with your internet speed. It is probably because the online game server is slow and has a lot of traffic. And the lag has to do something with your graphics card.



You should not change plans. 18 Mbps is great speed! Just call Teksavvy and tell them, your speeds are being slow. They could provide you tips and general assistance in what to do. Try making sure your near your router and try using wired internet.

Answer 5

Its probably bc you have a virus on your computer.

Answer 6

Ehm..

Maybe try the latest version of Adobe Falsh Player? --> http://bitly.com/1p3PHnX

If Youtube or Facebook videos don't work anymore or if the screen is black you need to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.

Bye

Answer 7

Great description with your question!

Most homes are on cable and the more your neighborhood uses it, the more you will see spikes in your internet. FIOS is about the only way to avoid the spikes.



Speedtest was a great idea and you did not say if 11Mbps was correct for your contract. I use Netflix and play WoW. In my experiance, 30 Mbps is acceptable (baseline) for MMO's and also Netflix. The lag (latency) you see when playing (you hit the NPC and it dies 30 seconds later) is you game sending data and getting the data much later than you should. Usually this is result of your bandwith, which at 11 Mbps, isnt a lot.



If your speedtest is correct, then you can tweak your NIC some to improve performance.

First, make sure your NIC driver is current by going to the Control Panel, Device Manager, select your NIC, properties. Note the name of the NIC, who made it and the published date of the driver. Then go to the NIC manufacture's website and look for a newer driver. You may need help in installing them if you find newer ones.



Once you have checked the NIC driver, you can reset the settings on how Windows uses the NIC to default. This will correct any previous tweaks your network stack has had and ensure that any changes going foward are what you want. To do this Microsoft has an Fixit tool. Look up Microsoft Document 299357 and use the fixit tool.



Then there is a utility to optimize the OS / NIC settings for MMO games. The most recommened utility is Leatrix Latency Fix 3.0.

Go to www.leatrix.com and download version 3. Unzip the package and run the exe. This utility is designed to tweak you NIC to reduce Lag.

Note - there are many websites deboted to this subject. So look around and be comfortable with this step.



For your computer, download Malwarebytes, install it, update it and run a full scan. Your symptoms dont sound like malware but its worth being sure.



Ultimately, your TV and Netflix is the most honest indicator. If Netflix is buffering, you likely dont have enough bandwidth. Your TV isnt subject to all of the stuff you and I have written. If Netflix isnt doing well, you need more Bandwidth. Contact your ISP and talk about The Speedtest results.



Good Luck
