There's a lot of possible variables. Have you tried eliminating some of them? Perhaps try connecting directly to your modem (if you are currently using a router) and/or use a different computer (if possible) to rule out your PC.

Do some investigation and give us what you find.

Where are you getting that 1KB/s from? Surely you won't get full speed while downloading from a Warez site in China

Try a speed test from www.dslreports.com (under Tools).

i agree with Rick.. here's some suggestions to add:

- directly to modem
- Look for bandwidth hogging programs, like P2P, games, downloaders, other PCs/devices taxing bandwidth etc
- check for virii and nasties https://www.techspot.com/community/...lware-removal-preliminary-instructions.58138/
- another PCs connected to your modem
- ISP problems.. including any friends that have the same ISP in the area if they have the problem..

how about checking to see how many processes are running, and stopping the ones not needed, or by using 'msconfig' and stop some programmes from loading, and defragging.
if none of the above works, or what anyone else has offered, look for adware and viruses.

I doubt this is ccaused by processes on the computer... You would be best off calling your ISP and asking them to run through setting it all up. Has the internet been so slow since you first got it?
