Just to keep you good people informed, I called comcast today. They assumed that, from reading out of their book, one of the problems was a fragmented HDD!!! What idiots! How could a computer have a ping of 1000+ms and download speed of 200kb/s from a fragmented HDD. My drive btw is clean. Reformat/reinstall Nov,2002. Less than 2% fragmentation. 76% free space. TIF's, temp files and cookies cleaned daily. Anyway she diagnosed the problem as a weak signal to the modem. A "tech" will be out tomorrow afternoon to raise the signal strength. Sorry 'bout the rant, just venting. Will let you know how it goes. |
