Tried reboot my modem still i got slow download speed

i used to have faster download speed

Update: Probably of the DSL filter went bad, i am going to replace it soon

I would advise you to check with your ISP about the fluctuations in the download speed. The upload speed seems to be okay

f23948 you can create a batch file instead of running one at a time.

1. Click “Start” button and click “All Programs”.  Now go to “Accessories” and open “Notepad”.
2. Once Notepad is open, copy & paste in the following commands below. 
3. Save file a DNS_Refresh.bat
   

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew

thanks you for the reply Partha
thank you for the reply Britec, do i need to run as administrator?

So you are running straight from your modem? Or is there a router involved in this internet speed?

[WinXPto10]

running straight from my modem using wired connection

I suggest you call CenturyLink and have them replace that modem. You should not be experiencing that fluctuation in your speed. It might just be that CenturyLink has done what there famous for and that is over crowding the hub.
