A "speed test" at their website says I'm getting the optimum speed for my service (Fast Access 6x).

Sometimes, the connection works like it should....sometimes my searches timeout. I'm running a 3.19 processor, 1GB RAM, and have 40GB left to go on my hard drive. I use anti-spyware, clean my cache, clean my temp files and think all of my software is updated. I use FireFox to browse.

What could it be? Any troubleshooters out there?

I think that part is a recording...you better call back and press #5 to speak to a REAL agent.

But seriously...if you're wireless make sure your connection is locked so the neighbours kid is not using your internet to download porn.
