    I don't know if the new Dell notebook I got is bad or so but I seem to have a problem about the internet slowing down the longer the computer is on. Basically when I first reboot the system the internet speed is at normal speed but after around 30 min or maybe around an hour the internet slows down and my downloads aren't as fast as normal. When I reboot the computer then the speed goes back to normal speed when I test it but is this normal? Or is my Dell notebook defective? Like basically after few hours my internet speed is around 10 Mb download but after I reboot it goes back around 19 Mb. I have CenturyLink cable internet.
     


  2. this happens to me, plus random times during the day it does up and down


    I reboot sometimes twice a day, I range on good days 40, average 20 (20 is what I pay for)

    and I call and get angry if I can't get anything above 5.
