Slow load times on new computer

[beef11]

How would I find how far I am from the node? I have no clue. Pc is directly connected to the cable router which is supplied by coaxial cable.
Would it make any difference of the amount of background processes? Task manager says 94 background and 95 Windows processes. That seems like quite a bit.

As for bootup speed, you mean from the time the password(disabled but started timing from there) was about 37 seconds till all of the programs got done loading. By that I mean all of the running programs with Icons down by the clock.

Speedtest is as follows, copied off of Ookla:
PING ms
10
DOWNLOAD Mbps
235.79
UPLOAD Mbps
11.53

Tried the booting in safe mode (Lol, had to look that one up) Love windows 10. Didnt really see any difference there.

While the internet speed seems to be doing better since I have done all the previous steps its still acts slow when transitioning to one thing from the next. Like it has to think about what its going to do and then does it. Its not all the time though., intermittent. Could it be possible one of the pieces of hardware are not seated properly? Would that be a cause?

I have 83 and 91 background processes respectively so your is in the ball park.

as to knowing your distance to the node, you won’t unless you have ever ask the service provider tech when he installed the service and was ever there for fault repairs.

with boot times, from the moment i hit the power switch and not counting the time it takes to enter my login password till the time I start Word and it starts displaying what I am typing is typically under 20 seconds.

your 235Mbps download speed is awesome, but then you’d expect no less with cable DSL.
i get about 40 at home and about 35 at work.

have you tried uninstalling AVAST, rebooting and seeing if that helps.
from what you are saying, the PC runs fine and only the internet is slow and then only sometimes.
is it only certain sites?
do you have any extra security processes, like web extensions or a modified HOST file?

Not really. Dont know what else to try. Seems like I will jut have to get used to it running this way.
Thanks for your guys attempted help though.

It may help if answered the above, being that you are running Windows 10 you already have more than adequate AV and Firewall protection.

Avast has become the same type of resource hog that AVG was years ago and the once highly recommended AV is no longer recommended by anyone other than Avast, it installs all sorts of unwanted extras on folk that amongst other things stuffs up the internet connection, it can also be a pain to get rid of as well.

Unless you tells us the results on the stuff we have suggested it is hard to move on to the next steps.
