Hoping for some insight or guidance...
Just built new rig and am having issues with upload/download speeds. Using the same website to test bandwidth speeds, the new rig is .25Mbs up (avg) - but all of the other PC's on my LAN are 3meg upload (which is about what I pay for). Problem is only on this newly built PC.
So far i've added a new Intel NIC (stopped using the onboard NIC), updated and rolled back drivers, changed ports on the switch, tried another switch, changed cables, everything I can think of from a physical aspect - same results each time.
So, where I was thinking it was hardware related, now I'm leaning towards OS issue. Ran CCleaner to clean things up, disabled everything in start-up (via msconfig). Turned off Norton NIS 2012. Nothing has worked so far.
So now I sit here stumped and obsessed with fixing this before making it my main rig. I'd love some input. Thanks in advance.
