is there possible reason why is it the internet connection become slow?

There are many reasons. To speed up "comparatively", do these things:\n\n--> My Computer >> Right-click drive icon >> Properties >> General tab >> Disk-Cleanup (Alt+D) >> Select all categories (If you have important stuff in Recycle Bin, un-check that box. Also, if you have Office Seup files, uncheck that too.) >> Erase! (Do this for all partitions). This surely speeds up the computer as well as the connection.\n\n--> Use a Frewall. Armor2net is good. Actually what happens is as soon as you connect to the internet, the softwares installed in your computer access the internet all at once. This reduces the speed. With a firewall, you can always control which program to be allowed to access the internet.\n\n--> Virus and Spyware do slow down the connection. Run a Full-System Scan with your AntiVirus and with Ad-Aware. Remove the infections. Remember that the definitions must be updated!\n\nContact me for more details: OnlineConnectionz@yahoo.com

It's probably both solutions mentioned, slow ISP and memory.\n\nGoto http://www.4allmemory.com to do a free live online check to see what memory you have, and what is available to add, it works good! :)

This happens mainly due to your PC configuration i.e hardware, in particular the mouse not matching with the intended performance parameters. Go to control panel and fix your Mouse settings- check the speed - is it too much, or too less. Go for a Windows Xp or Linux with at least double RAM (256 Hz) when you go over Internet and also, work out with your ISP why the speed is slow. Quite often, a combination of slow speed, bad hardware and Anti-Spyware software give a dreadful surfing experience.

Your internet browser is most likely slow because you probably have a numerous amount of spy/adware on your computer. This spyware has been known to slow internet browsing up 10 times slower than what it should be. I would reccomend that you get a spyware removal program. If you already have one, I would reccomend using it once daily. If you dont have one already dont be alarmed thinking that you have to go buy this program. There are many free ones out there. Adaware SE is a very good and highly recomended one.

your internet server is most likely too slow

DSL reports speed test:\nhttp://www.dslreports.com/stest\n\nMany things affect your bandwidth though. Usually the Cable/DSL modem is your only real limiter, but if your computer has spyware/nagware installed, that'll make your connection feel slower. \n\nTry downloading microsoft Anti-Spyware, ad-aware, and many other tools to fix your computer. I'm a fan of trend-micro pc-cillan which comes with virus software and all the anti-spyware software too. \n\nYou didn't install Kazaa did you? ;-)\n\nIf you have kids, they can install programs from the internet that install malware.

it might be slow because yahoo has a lot of member connecting to it throughout the world and it could be slowing the server down or because your isp has a lot of users logged onto it.

well probably b/c dial-up is notoriously slow. or you might want to invest in getting an anti-virus program and maybe a fire wall. or you might want to de-frag your computer.

1. is your connection faster when your brother's computer is off? if so, then it is simply that his computer is using more of the total bandwidth, probably it is closer to the socket or router.\n\n2. if your computer is still slow with his computer off, then it may be your hardware or software.

Make sure you have filters on all your phone lines, including any TV boxes that use the phone. This can cause slowness. You can check with the manual and see if you can access the DSL router to see what DL and UP speeds you are at. If you are below what is promised then check with the company. If you are above where you are supposed to be then either live with what you have or call the company, pay more to upgrade. This is all dependant on how your DSL is setup and it may not be the same way I am familiar with. They also have Internet Speed Check's that you can use to check your speed. That will give you an idea if you are at a good speed for DSL. \n\nhttp://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html

Maybe it's not your internet.  It could possibly be your pc.  IS your pc new or old?  Does it have enough memory perhaps?  These are probably other issues to look into...
