I unplugged the modem power and retested it and there is a difference again in results. On the speed test that I mentioned (speedtest.net), there is a green begin test icon and below that is a green arrow. When I click on the begin test icon, that usually gives me a DL of 11.38 but when I click on the green arrow below and run the test, the DL is around 4.39. Which icon should I be selecting and why would it give that big of a difference in results depending on which green icon you click on to begin the test?
Train, below is my results. You have great DL and UL speeds. The speeds of the plan I am paying for is 12 Mbps DL and 1 Mbps UL. I am not receiving even close that DL speed. This might explain the lag I am experiencing lately. This only started to occur the past few weeks. I guess I will have to contact my ISP provider and see what BS they tell me.
You are right, time to contact the ISP.
The above was using a wireless while visiting Grandsons. Ok, but not the fastest.
Using a motel wireless right now.
UGH!!!!!!!!
SMILE

SpywareDr, I was selecting new york when I ran the other tests from the other speedtest sites and it always gave me a low download result. I did run the test using the one on their website and I called them and they told me that the new york selection is messed up and always gives inaccurate results. They told me to recycle my router which hasn't been done in a long time. Perhaps, recycling my router helped some. It seems better but not like it used to be. The tech rep said that having a router connected to a computer slows down the speed, as well. I told her that I always used a router on my computers and never noticed a difference in speed.

I suppose most equipment between the two computers is going to add some latency.
