All I can say is that between Chrome, Firefox, Safari and IE there is significant differences between ping times and download speeds.

and the speed popped back to the 40+.Īccording to him, Firefox uses some software that reduces the throughput. Finally, the light bulb came on over his head and asked which browser I was using at both places. The tech came out, measured the signal and found nothing. Of course the installed gave me some fast talk about the modem needing "break-in" so I just politely let him leave.Īfter a couple of days I ran more speed checks with the same result and phoned in a trouble call. When I last moved I performed a speed check after the internet service connection was completed (same company, same 'speed') and found my speed had decreased from 40+ to around 27mbps.

Think about it, all of the tablets have "slow" processors and memory, but they have lightweight OS's and work efficiently. I put Linux Mint on it and it is faster than any computer that I have (got rid of the trailer). My fastest computer is one that could barely handle Vista without freezing. This is what is called the Registry and it seems like it is designed to make yoru computer get slower over time. Then, as you use it, crap is constantly put in the trailer so it gets heavier and heavier, until eventually you need to buy a car with more power just to have normal performance. If a Windows computer was a car, imagine that you have a high HP and torque engine, but you attach a huge trailer to the car so it is no faster than any other car. Bu tI do nto use them every day and they are not as easy as Glary. I have CC Cleaner and Autoruns which do a good job with the registry and Auslogics defrag which actually works and works quickly (vs Windows defrag). Running a utility like that on Windows really helps.

Of course they want me to buy updated version, but I'm happy with the free ware.Taz

Whenever the computer gets slow I run the defrag. I'm not very competent with computers, but the last tech that worked on my computer set me up with some free ware.
