Ok, this is driving me BONKERS! I have internet service with Time Warner and I have a wireless router running the internet in my apartment.... Ever since I've had service installed here, the internet has been RETARDED slow. I've run "speed tests" on speedtest.net and I've been averaging about 3-4mbs downloads.
I even went out and bought a new wireless router (Belkin Surf). I was told I didn't need to get anything fancy if I only had an apartment. So what gives?!?!? Do I need to buy a better router to get faster download speeds? This drives me nuts because I'm always watching tutorials online and doing my school work on the computer. So a slow internet is something that gets my blood boiling.
I've also called Time Warner, and had techs come out NUMEROUS times. The internet is apparently fine. They said it could be my router. But it's brand new!
Can anyone lend some nerdy tech advice?
