I have been experiencing a problem with my Internet connection. At times the Internet speed will drop from a normal 20/25 Mbps to 1,0 Mbps, and at times even lower. This occurs throughout the day and evenings. I have had the tecnician twice check it out and he has replaced a few connectors and said that's all he can do.
I realize that being on a neighborhood shared connection, the speed will vary, determined by the number of people using the connection. But it should never drop to such an extent. Even the technician agrees with this.
As I write this, the Internet speed shows a download speed of 2.76 Mbps. (The maximum I pay for is 30 Mbps.) This test is with my ISP provider.
This is not computer related, because I had the problem on my older computer which has been replaced with a new one.
This drop in speed occurs simultaneously with my wife's computer. While my computer is on WiFi, hers is on LAN cable.
Okay, long explanation, now for my question.
Is it possible that the Windows Delivery Optimization is causing these severe drops? I have read that the utility can eat up all the bandwidth. If so, can this be uninstalled safely and will I still receive updates?
Or does anyone have a thought on what might be causing the drop in speed? It is really annoying, to say the least.
Thank you
