Slow Internet: Win 10, Firefox, ATT Fiber

[Chips_Chips]

When I first got ATT fiber it was an improvement over my previous coax connection with Spectrum. But now, a year or more afterwards, things have slowed down once more. And it seems to be getting worse. I should be seeing internet pages load almost instantly, shouldn’t I? But it often takes minutes.

I am not blaming ATT, but need a plan to find out why this is happening. I suspect I may have two or more anti-malware/computer protection programs running but am not sure how to find out just what they are. How do I do that? And how do I know if they are compatible or not. Or do I really need more than one.

And any other things I should do would be gratefully appreciated.

If this forum is not a good place to ask this, can you recommend a forum that is?

Thanks, in advance!

I have been using this tool since the early 2000’s with huge success. Windows 10-11 do a pretty good job nowadays with these settings but sometimes settings get changed by the user or software, this tool will put it back to optimal.

Yep, tcp optimizer is in the guide. I probably should do an update on the old guide tho… ???

Wow, sorry about that. Very nice guide! I should have read the whole thing.
