Well for about 4 days I get sudden internet speed drops and after 1-2 minutes it recovers I called the guy from my internet distribuitor and everything was fine, even better than usually on speed test I normally get 25 meg download today I got 40.
The speed drops are quite severe and can reduce speed to 1kb or even lower but not enough to display an internet not available or the yellow x or whatever. I noticed the extremely low speed drop when installing an update to Warthunder and this happened.(Note this started happening before the update)
Also while the icon for internet unavailable is not displayed games do notice the sudden drop and say connection lost, steam also notices this and says connection lost.
I have internet trough cable.
Any idea on what could be the problem, my PC, the internet firm or something else?
Ohh also the guy who did the verification said that it is probably my windows it seemed slow to him when he did a refresh(Like those kids when the first time they start the PC they do like 5 refreshes...)I told him it was 5 years old or more then he told me I should probably reinstall it, but I told him that I wont cause I am going to buy(build) a new PC when Maxwell launches after that he commented on my antivirus (AVG 2014) he said it was not good enough, he said it only protected me 60%(random number probably ) and that I am 40% vulnerable but I haven't got a virus in more than 8 years also he said that I should uninstall advanced system care wich seems weird to me, could this be the cause ? The guy also told me to call him next time it happens, but since it recovers kinda quick it will be gone before he responds, should I call anyway when it happens ?
So yeah all your help will be greatly appreciated.
