Ask your broadband provider for a different connection box if the wires wont stick. If not just buy a new cable from the thing to your computer.\n\n\nAsk a dude to evaluate it for you from their company. Customer service, you're paying for it.

Upgrading your connection speed will definitly help.  I went from a dial up connection to 1.5mb and my downloads are, on the average, about 12 minutes faster.

Looks like the same problem with me...\nMaybe be ur internet connection is too slow especially if your using Dial-up connection\nTo reset that problem go to internet options and check your cookies it must be in the medium level and in the advance tabs choose restore defaults and restart your computer and try ur internet..\nIf the problem is there, call your trusted operator and let him/her fixed the problem.

It sounds like your ISP (inernet service provider) just allows 60 minutes of connection time per day.  A cousin of mine in Canada had an ISP like this.  He'd be surfing or whatever, and after 60 minutes it was disconnected until midnight.

If you are using a LAN based internet Connection, then there is definately there is a problem with connection, ask your network operator for a solution.

it may not be your internet, but your computer that is slow.  Maybe you have a virus

That sounds like a DSL speed which should not be dependent on other users in your area unlike cable. The internet is busier on nights and weekends so just slower in general depending on which sites you visit.

Can be a physical level problem: your internet cable is properly plugged in to your computer or to the outside line.\nCan be a internet configuration problem.  If you have broadband, call your service provider.  If you have dial-up, in internet explorer, go to tools -> internet options -> connections, and make sure the configuration is correct.

I always use http://pcpitstop.com. But make sure that you have nothing else running in the background (MSN Messenger, et al). You might get a more accurate figure in Safe Mode With Networking. If the safe mode figure is much higher try and find out what else is using your bandwidth. http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/TcpView.html is a great little utility that shows all the active internet connections on your PC

No.  You're at the mercy of the bandwidths that are being used at the time.   Sometimes there is more traffic which will make it slower and other times you are using it at a time when not that many people are on so it will be faster.\n\nHope that helps.

if you're writing this, i guess your computer is fine.\n\ni have the same problem at home using dial up and some older software.  rebooting usually fixes it - i think it's more a graphics/software problem than a connection problem - usually happens when I've left my computer on for a long time (days) without rebooting, and have opened and closed numerous programs - especially games\n\ngood luck

Sometimes I think they need a bigger server and can't handle all the hits, but that is usually in the morning.  I am having no trouble right now.  Is it just Yahoo, or many websites?  If it is more than just Yahoo, try going to start/settings/network connections.  right click on the network through which you get the internet, then click on "repair".  Also, check to see if your modem needs resetting or anything (if you have a cable modem).  If you have dialup, that might be the problem.  Nothing beats cable internet.  I get mine from Cox.  I have to buy at least basic cable to get it, but it is worth it.  I get basic cable and high speed internet for under $60 a month.  I stopped using telephones because now I do all my communication through the internet.

Are you sure the speed test didn't say 8 KBps (bytes instead of bits)? You should do these tests while nothing else is using your connection. Your connection should almost always be a little slower, but not that much. Try the speed test below, it should be closer to what your pc says--if you use it correctly.
