Internet Issues

Well yet again my DSL is coming to a crawl. I was trying to watch a streaming video which I watched a few weeks back and it kept having to buffer, as where before it did not. I checked my router log and a few IPs, mainly 69.77.150.90 right now, from different ports are trying to hit me at port 139, which is NetBIOS. This is getting so bad that on PC Pitstop I registered an 83kbps on their download test, I used to get 1000. This is pissing me off. i have not torrented anything lately. Can anyone offer a solution, hopefully a permanent one, that would stop this hassle.

Ask your ISP to change your IP.

go to dsl reports, do your speed tests (day/night, two diff days) and present them to your ISP along with the speeds they claim you should be getting.

Do what Juggs said. Btw, the port 139 hits are nothing to worry about since they happen on any 'net-connected system usually because of random bot scanning.

I ran the DSL Reports test and it came up good, 1281 down, so I guess the slowness has passed. When I restarted my computer it said install updates and shut down, so I guess Windows Update was causing slowness, but after I restarted it was still slow. The slowness only seems to happen at night and gets extremely irritating. I went to my ISPs website and saw that they are offering FiOS, so I am definately asking them about it.

disable windows update temporarily and take a couple more speed runs the next couple days at diff times. fios would be nice, but really, you should be getting their advertised speed or close to it. don't cave to paying out the nose because they can't deliver what they should be.
