Slow Internet Speeds
Several factors can contribute to slow Internet speeds.

Potential Causes

File Sharing Programs
Programs such as LimeWire, Bit Torrent, ect.  are File Sharing Programs.  File Sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digitally stored information such as computer programs, multi media (audio, video), documents or electronic books.  Because they require uploading and downloading huge amounts of data, they hog your Internet speed.

Virus/Adware/Malware
These types of programs are installed and run on your computer without your knowledge.  You may have inadvertently downloaded one of these by clicking on a link or opening files attached to emails.  To check your computer, download one of the Anti-Virus programs and Malware program from our software page here.

Firewalls
A firewall monitors and logs incoming and outgoing network traffic on your computer, and includes a set of rules for what is allowed.  
These programs scan all data that comes in to and out of your computer, so the stricter you have the firewall's rules set, the more intense scanning it has to perform, thereby potentially slowing down your Internet speeds.  You likely have a program to manage this for you – in most cases, the default rules are sufficient and well-suited for home use.

Low available system memory (RAM)
Random Access Memory (RAM), also known as a computer's "memory", provides space for your computer to read and write data as is required to run certain programs.  The more programs you have running on your computer, the more RAM or memory that is being used, meaning the slower your computer will operate.
