Internet is screwy my end - Fletcher - 01-17-2009

Lately my speed (without the dialog box saying) has dropped, a lot. On Xbox Live and Discovery I'm lucky not to get lag.

Not to mention, I cannot view online videos, none, nada. YouTube, Veoh, and Megavideo refuses to show me any videos. Saying its either connection or unavailable...

Help?:unsure:

Hm... this is happening on BOTH your xbox and your computer?

Well that counts out it being a browser hijacker or virus... I'd say call your ISP, usually the cause is problems on their end. I know for a while I had really ****ty internet speed, always cutting out and lagging, and it was because of too many people going through one of the ISP's hubs - they eventually built another one, put us on that, and I havent had lag issues since, discluding those nasty viruses =P

What kind of internet do you have? Cable? Satellite? Tower?

I am using cable, I 'should' be getting 5.6mbps right now, I just finished a short trade run, it was a bit laggy. My ISP upgraded the local exchange to handle the new traffic. I am running the spybot and avast now...

EDIT: Sbybot found nothing, oh and my Xbox goes through my PC to get to the net.
