Hi Guys,
Lately my broadband internet connection is not working properly. It connects and says 1.5 mb connection but when I load a webpage it loads after like 10 minutes. It is nothing to do with bandwith as this is a new month and I have checked my usage. I have USB EXTERNAL ADSL modem. Help would be appreciated.

Also if you are in the UK try the BT broadband speed checker or go to adslguide site to check your speed.
First of all try to check for spyware/virus.

And don't mind if it says 1.5 Mbps as speed connection: that is just the maximum theorical speed... but your connection could go even at 15 kbps...

Like the other said, check the presence of ad/spyware...

Looks more like a problem with the OS to me if it's not a virus / spyware, reinstall your OS.
