Vista - Slow Downloads

tested download speed is about 200KBPS. Have had AT&T check modem, router
and line and I am getting 3 meg. Have booted with a Linux CD and tested
speed wit 2.45 meg - all on same computer. Reset Internet browser, booted in
clean boot, turned off firewalls but still no change to download speed. Have
talked with internet provider, AT&T, for many hours with no solution yet.
Any ideas

Thanks from Fred

IE7? Have you tried with Firefox? What Vista version, and which services do
you have running?

Have you tested with this site? www.speedtest.net

Hi Fred,

Since you have a router, you might go to this link below for details to see if its Auto Tuning causing the problem.

Thanks everyone for the help. I have been able to solve the problem since
posting the help request. I worked with a Microsoft (yes from India)
Technician who tried all the usual tricks with no change. The Vista check of
my drivers indicated I was up to date, however, he suspected that my Ethernet
driver was out of date. After uninstalling and reinstalling with no effect,
he went to the HP web site and found a new driver. After downloading and
installing the new dirver my download speed jumped to 2.5 meg. I turned on
all of the features, firewall and programs and the speed was still at 2.5
meg. Issue resolved. I guess my lession here is that I cannot just depend
on what Windows says is okay regarding drivers on older hardward. Thanks
again for all the responses.
Bye

You should always go to the hardware manufacturer's web site to look for
drivers.
