hello Community.

if anyone have any solution for this issue kindly share it with us

i been using the same laptop with the same internet speed/modem..ect
but couple days ago i started to notice the download speed getting very low while skyping or watching on any online video player and especially when i download files via IDM or chrome/firefox ( from 10kb/s to 50kb/s ) but when i use utorrent i get my normal download speed which is 3.5MB/s

. i restarted my modem/router/laptop more than once
. ran ccleaner,malwarebytes and found nothing
. restarted my wireless adapter
. i tried downloading from different sites but still same issue


i have windows 7 64bit on a i7/6gb ram laptop using wireless only

Note: as far as i know i dont think my issue is related with the internet provider since i still can download using utorrent with max
Thank you in advance...

Hello Faysal,

Have you checked your internet browser for malicious software or ad-dons?

Have you tried resetting your internet settings to the defaults?

What browser are you using?

Thanks,
Joel

Thank you @joel for the fast answer,
mostly i use chrome as my default browser and i scanned and removed all addons and kept only adblock.
i believe i never made any reset on my internet settings but i will reset my internet explorer and chrome to default and feedback

Chrome uses IE Internet settings. If you reset IE settings it will also reset Chrome not including the ad-dons/extensions. It could also be your system specs too. Most websites nowadays use a lot of system resources which could be slowing down the web browser.
