Internet Cable Speed

What is an internet speed test and how can I perform one?

What can I do to improve my download speed? My pc is having alot of difficulty trying to process demands. I have scanned, cleaned, and updated everything I know to check and still I have very poor performance. I dont even have this thing paid for yet and it is acting like it is an antique. What can I do?

1. You *might* be infected if the computer is running sluggish when it used to preform quite well. As far as internet speed, I personally use this site: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
2. I trust these guys for a speed test result: http://www.consumerspeedtest.org.nz/
3. DSLReports.com has some essential tools like Online Speed Tests and Line monitoring. They will tell you if you are having problems with dropped packets.
