I've been having problems with my internet. I can't download things fast and videos don't even load anymore. Sites and their images also load very slowly. I'm lucky that this site works so well still.

My question is if any of you have any knowledge on internet problems and would be able to help me out? I'm gonna post a thread on a SkyUser forum and get help from them. But I was wondering if any of you have any idea how I can get my connection back to normal?

Might just be your computer slowing down. Do you know of clearing your cache/cookies from your Internet files? Its basically the computer receiving a link for every page you enter and it stores up.

You can clear them in your Control Panel, Internet Options. Though be warned as it logs you out, but it won't delete your accounts. You'll need to login again.

I've done all that, yeah.
I made a thread explaining it on a Sky Help forum.

I sometimes have the same problem, just a while ago I couldn't enter koeiwarriors (Forum) while I could enter just about any place I tried, after clearing the cookies/cache and whatnot then Restart, it somehow loaded it and its back to normal.

You might want to use a program like Ccleaner, unistall any programs/games you don't use and desfragment the disk once in a while, it could help a lot.

Try out and check your net speed here:

I hope your cat is okay by the way.

Edit: Yes, use CCleaner, but make sure you check what you're deleting by checking the ReadMe file. Or check online on Google.

Your ideas may make my internet faster, true. But I found the main problem. We bought the wrong replacement for whatever it is. I don't know what they are called. We'll have it working fine in a few days hopefully. ;D

Okay good to hear, I'll lock this topic and archive. If you want it back for a reason, just ask. Thanks.
