    Default Slow internet problem

    My internet has been really freaking slow. Normally i have a 120 ping in league of legends, but now it sits around 600. It's not just in games either-- it takes a very long time for websites to load aswell. It all started about 5 days ago, and i have no idea what could have caused it. Does anyone know any possible causes?

    also... it goes back to normal for a while after i unplug my router then plug it back in.

    Have you installed anything lately that could of caused it? like a program you wanted to try?

    Because it maybe be a virus/spyware.

    But i have encountered the issue before and it was an issue at my ISPs end.

    It would't hurt to scan your pc with

    Ad Aware (http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php)

    Spybot S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/)

    I'd also run a clean up/registry cleaner using CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/)

    and see if it fixes it

    Does your ISP have bandwith limits?

    I should update this but all my effort went into writing this lousy excuse.

    i know 1.5mbps isnt awesome, but it's 180kb/s download speeds, and gives me a ping that i can live with. Normally i sit between 90-120. Currently, i go anywhere from 500-750.

    wait... i just took the time to read that. Are you saying they lowered my capacity without telling me?

    If the game uses peer to peer then it's very likely your ISP is just throttling your connection.
