dial up speed with broadband
Yeah. That's what I say. What? I am using windows 10 Home edition version 1511 HP laptop 64 bit 8 gb ram 500 gb hd. I recently reinstalled windows and am experiencing very slow and sometimes incomplete downloads. I checked errors and read that my connection shows "Getchar Socket abruptly closed". I am lost here. I have current updates installed. Have troubleshot everything I can think of. I've run virus scanner. I've updated drivers. I've stopped any unnecessary services. I've uninstalled unused bloatware and programs. I first noticed my page loading time taking longer than before but it's terrible now. I have checked the hd and it checks out. the laptop is only a year old. I have searched online for an answer but it's all been Greek to me so far. I'm the only user so I can't blame anyone for this problem but me. Any helpful advice will be greatly appreciated. P.S. I posted most of this before. Now I've updated to the new version 1903 of windows 10.. But it's the same. I did a speed test and got 0.13 as download speed and 0.12 upload speed. I'm at my limit and don't know what to do. please somebody help.
