When I have download issues and have done the troubleshooting you have done already, I go to my ISP. Sounds like your problems originate there.

Downloading a TV show used to take about one hour and fifteen minutes.

I thought perhaps I got a nasty virus so I reformatted yesterday but I still continue to have this same problem.

The two monitors on this screen keep turning blue and then to grey, about once every 8 seconds or so.



I'm running Windows XP SP3 with nothing much on it right now. No Norton Anti-Virus, just Microsoft Security Essentials.

I have a 2Wire AT&T wireless router connected by an ethernet cable to my tower.

What are some of the tests I can do to problem solve why my internet is being such a pill with me?

Thanks ahead!
