Yes, I've unplugged and reset the modem a few times to check. I realize that I will never attain actual 10.0 MBps download speeds from Shaw, my problem is that my network connection keeps telling me it's only a 10.0 MBps connection when before, all the connections would at least tell me 100.0 MBps. Am I imagining this? For the 10 years (gads) that I have had cable internet, the status of the LAN connection has always told me 100 MBps and for the past couple of months, all the computers in my house are only showing 10.0 MBps in their status. Is this normal? I guess I could be imagining it but I could swear I've always seen 100.0 MBps there.

I'm also having wierd things like pages loading slowly or taking forever to appear. If I open many windows, a lot of pages will not load or take minutes to load. Before, the pages would load nearly instantaneously. I have no idea what is happening. I've run some anti-spyware, etc. but I usually have a clean system. I grabbed a new hosts file and it speeded up some sites (since it blocks the ads) but normal browsing still appears to lag very much.
