I have a Terayon (TJ 715X) cable modem. My connection speed is supposed to be 5Megs or higher. I have been having varying connection speeds in the real slow range. I also keep getting a message that a network cable is unplugged. I unplug all the cables to the modem and replug them. Here is one site that I check my connection speed: www.cable-modem.net/Does anybody know what my connection problem is?

It could vary well be if you use your computer allot and not defragmet your hard drive vary often it will slow your computer down immensely I run defrag at least every other day because I use my computer allot Also If you don't run defrag vary often when you do it will take forever for your computer to sort through the mess on your hard drive---I'm talken days when it gets that bad I just reformat and start bran new tinyurl.com/4dqchAlso you need to work diligently in keeping spy-ware off your computer find out what your firewall is allowing to run on your computer chances are you have spy-ware collecting data on your surfing habits from one of your back door ports zapping your bandwidth

Look In My PC is a great program I use that will generate a report of everything going on with your computer....and it's free. I really like it....Ant, have you heard of this? So far, I haven't had any problems and it came to me highly recommended. www.lookinmypc.com/

No Patti I have not seen it but I am aware of other free programs that do the same thing that program would defiantly help you to tell which unauthorized ports are open on your computer
also I wanted to say that keeping the crap off your computer like duplicate files dead-end shortcuts unnecessary files cookies history trash bin and unused software will help your computer run faster I use some free software called Easy cleaner
I like to run defrag when ever I delete stuff that way my computer can put it's ducks back in a row
